I really love the 162's, and how the wheel's have that concave shape to them. They are not completly flat which adds even more character to the sharp lines and different shapes that play on the exterior of the car. I cannot count the number of times as I am at a stoplight downtown Chicago, and people look down and stare at the wheels. That is astonishing considering that BMW's cover the roads like ants downtown, especially the 3 series. The 18" size also helps fill the wheelwell and give it a more aggressive stance.

I am a fan of both the 199's and 162's. Currently have 162's on...

I'd agree that if the 161's came in 18", they'd top the list for me. As they are, and given the 5 choices above for stock US equipped wheels, you can't beat the 162's, in my book.
