Not demeaning you status my friend.
There are so many threads on here that date back to 2004 its impossible to go through them all. A lot of the old members have moved on and a lot of knowledge has gone with them. However; there are still many out here who have done some amazing things to this vehicle.

I'm glad I came across this post. Do I need to specifically ask for the M6 166 wheels when trying to order/purchase? Or do I need to ask for m5 166 rims with the m6 offset. It seems as though every seller I ask has no clue what I'm talking about or thinks I have lost my mind when I ask if the m5 wheels have the m6 offset. One seller even blew up at me and said that I didn't know what I was talking about and that BMW only makes one m5 rim and there is only one offset. Lastly, I emailed the Internet sales rep at this website http://www.bmwcleveland.com/sc/store...uct=70#details where I plan to purchase M5 wheels and asked what offset these were. He responded and said the offset was 12 front and 18 rear. When I asked if these were the m6 offset he had no idea what I was talking about. any suggestions?

I bought lots of stuff before from unknown people online. When I didn't feel comfortable enough, I either don't buy it or travel to where the product is located to inspect it prior to handing over my cash. That method usually works for me. Heck back in my younger days, I drove from Nor Cal to So Cal just to inspect a kit before I brought it home. Of course now shipping charges are more reasonable people just want it to be shipped.
BTW I think M6 wheels are 167, not 166.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you and the buyer but like I said, it is a steal for a set of 19" OEM 166.

Yes,
M6 comes with wheels called style 167
but it also comes with wheels of different styles
Not many people know but you can get the M6 with style 166 wheels.
When they say M6 wheel they dont mean to point at the style of the wheel (167 or 166) they mean to talk about the OFFSET. The M6 car has a different rear wheel offset when compared to the M5 cars.
I am not sure if that makes much sense, but its a fact.
