Glad I was reading this forum
, (I'm still new)
my car has 93039 (just 7 behind you!!)
It looks like socalraven and I will be taking delivery on or around same time.... (I think I maybe first cause I am not yet getting the M aero kit (will wait some time)
socalraven do get me your tire and rim person, as I am interested in taking a look at the wheels.
By the way anyone have a link where I can see a sample of the wheels?
I cannot wait!!!

The deal I got sound pretty good to me as well as other forum members.
Here it is:
19" inch M5 Wheels: $2040
Michelen Sport Tires: $1390
Chroming: $1100
Total:$4530
I think the chrome charge is a bit high, I have found it to be anywhere from $100-$290 per wheel. I am willing to pay the charge for a good job and pick my car up with wheels and tires on, as opposed to waiting and having them done at a later time. Having them done at a later time would also set me back two weeks without the wheels and maybe even my 550!! The wheels have been ordered and are probably about ready to hit the chromer.
I also have a buyer for my stock wheels for $1800.

Mine is waiting as well, as I was informed today. I hope "Wilma" doesn't affect sea traffic in the North Atlantic.
As I mentioned earlier, I wonder what route the ships take to SC and CA?
I guess we will see.
Regards, Mike.
