$740 shipped! What the hell planet are you ordering them from. I paid well over 4k with wheels and tires. With arches it was $5200.00 installed. Are they knock offs?

Great price!!
Speaking of OER vs. OEM, besides not being made by BMW, what are the big differences in terms of manufacturing, etc. What are the upsides vs. downsides.
Sorry to hijack this thread, I should probably make it it's own topic...

ps- I heart those style 168s, so throw m vote in for those...

Thanks all. Sorry but not feeling the 177 at all.
Between the 132 and 87, I'm be 50/50 on both.

Ordering 168 tomorrow. Like my OP said, Buschys pic keeps on sticking in my mind. Love the look from afar but not up-close. I know this is a personal subject thing....

Fwow, 87 no questions asked! 168 just aren't aggressive looking, not special when you look at them without the 4.8is bumpers.

177's are harder to clean then 168 or 87's. I have a hell of a time getting my big hands in between the spokes to clean them.
