I so love the 166 style I refuse to buy any other wheels besides that one but for some reason it seems like BMW forgot about the XI family since I can't find much.
Do you know if they have it
? I know the offset is different but if I can find them that'll be the best thing in my life (well 2nd thing after my daughter)

Not OEM. There are lots of replicas however which have the offset you need.

There's been a lot of discussion about this if you do a search. I've been in your shoes, so I'll give you a head start.

If you're a purist and insist on OEM wheels, Style 135 comes closest to the 166 and comes in an xi fitment.

Works both ways. If you are really in love with Style 166s.. The 135s prib won't cut it despite a *similar* look. IMO it falls short in appeal.

I have style 166 replicas in matte black on my xi, and honestly the only difference I noticed is that the concave isn't as deep. Other than that the rims compliment my white e60 fine. And I must say they are pretty damn strong. I've hit some harsh ny potholes and they are holding up well.
