Ha...I'm in the same boat. That's why I got oem 166's. Since you want 19", get the replica 166's. The other one will look small in 19 because of the lip.

I'd go for number 1 cause the deep dish aint there on number 2 replicas.

I think I'm going with choice #1. Thanks to all that replied. If any others have anything, feel free to chime in...

I couldn't agree more. The replicas have no deep dish look.

Gents - I decided on 19's. Now, I need your help deciding. I narrowed it down to 2. Please keep in mind that I have a 530xi, so I can't get the standard OEM 166 wheels due to the offset required on my car. Both of these wheels are replica's, but both have high offsets that will work with my car. The one thing I don't like about the replica 166's is that they have a tiny lip around the circumference, whereas the OEM wheels are smooth around the wheel.
Let me know which you think...
#1: Hartge Classic Replica's. Although they look black in the center based on the photo, these are silver wheels (not chrome).
Attachment 23053
#2: OEM 166 Replicas (notice the lip around the edge)
Attachment 23054
So #1 or #2?
PS - If you have any other recommendations, feel free to throw them my way. Just keep in mind I need an offset of 38-43 @ all 4 corners (3 series offset will work) and I can't run a staggered set-up).
