They look pretty nice!

They had crossed my mind when I was thinking of getting new shoes for my car and eventually went for the
166's (m6 offset).

Hi BigMike, thanks man. I was on M166s as well previously but thought it lacked "metal" so decided to try on the new M3's rims for a change. Next change might be Neez QD7s..killa looks.

Love these wheels, had them on my M3 before I changed to the M5, GOT THE OEM 166s on now, its a toss up which I like the best really.

not bad, you needed hub rings to get those to fit properly correct?
