Are the VMR 710s the same offset at the M166s? After hearing some of the issues folks are having with the different aftermarket wheels, I'm considering just going with M166s.
Thanks.
Thanks.

166 front offsets for both m5 and m6 are ET 12, rear M5 offset is ET 28, M6 rear offset is ET 17
you should be fine, those wheels were purchased and installed by a knowledgeable vendor on these boards (EuroRev)
now go have a beer mano....

The VMR 710 wheels you have on your car (formerly radzM550i) were my wheels he put on when he gave the car back to LB BMW. I had no issues with them when I had them only for 1 week

Thanks John. I'm getting a slight vibration/shimmy between 38 and 45-48 miles and after road force balancing them, it's still there.

You should get an alignment. Richard had H&R springs on the car before he took them out and returned it back to stock springs
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you guys do alignments? If not, to what shop do you refer your customers?

i had vibrations at that same speed with my aftermarket wheels. i had three seperate wheel balances and the vibration was still there, finally all i needed was some hubcentric rings. the aftermarket wheels didnt exactly fit on my hub.
