Trying to decide what wheel looks nicer with Alpine White, 166's or 167's. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder so a few pics would be greatly appreciated. thx!

I would go with 166, because a) I prefer them b) they are M5 wheels!
But the 167 are better, technically : very light and more resistant than 166!

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
They both look great and are much easier to clean VS 172s but I love the look of the 172s.
