no i dont have sports suspension. and i did not install any springs, although i know that it would look so much better and more aggressive if i did.

Ohh good... Now, May be you/vegasthrased can answer this for me... To install M5 166s, dO i need to install any springs or just 12mm/15mm spacers will do? I dont want to compromise on smooth ride, so would like to keep the ride as smooth as possible w/o any Sport springs or lowering car etc.

I have only 2 preferrences, 19" OEM 128s or M5 166's... Pls advice which is easier to install and looks good with out any installation of any Springs.

You do not need to install springs nor spacers at all. Both are mainly cosmetic. The difference between 128 and 166 wheels are that the 128s are inset more than 166s. You can't go wrong with either wheel.

offsets for 166s i believe is 28 and offstes for 128s i believe are 32. yes spacers and springs are cosmetic. vt is running with 12mm spacers and i am planning to get 15 mm spacers. both wheels are just awesome, and the choice is entirely up to you.

Depends on the width of the 20s. If you run 10 or 9.5 you'll probably end up rubbing if you lower the car.

dude I see you posting that all the time.. thats not true at all.. yes there are people who do rub with that configuration but jsut cause you have a 10" width doesn't mean your gonna rub I know plenty of people who don't rub..
