This is claimed to be very closed to OEM and made in Italy

166 style

For real OEM, either contact quad_m (Tony) or bmwwheels.com

Enjoy your ride.

If you go with the replica from this company, please report back to us. I had a horrible experience with my replicas (made in China), and I would like to see if other replicas work (and which ones). I agree with the others that OEM is the best way to go (if your car starts to shake violently with replicas, you will know what I mean). That being said, sometimes you may want a spare set for certain events, and replicas may be nice if they work. I sent an email last week to the Wheels and Caps place asking them if they could guarantee that the wheels would not vibrate. They said that everything would be fine, but they also say that they won't take back wheels once they are mounted.

I am at the point where I can change out my own tires in less than 40 minutes, so I would not mind trying another set of #166s (OEM or replicas). In light of my outlay of cash the first time, the OEMs may be too much for me (my car is leased, and I only have 29 months left). Right now, I am back with my OEM 17" wheels (enjoying the comfortable ride). I have the H&R springs ready to go when I make up my mind.
