Hello all...

I ordered my 525i here in the U.S. and I wasn't asked about wheels. I am getting the sport package, so I think I'm getting the star type 5 spoke (see #10 on the link below). Although, I'd love that wheel with the 7 spokes (#8 below).

Anyone know if that can be done and at what price? Again, I'm in the U.S.

wheel #8 you are asking is for 530 sport package. i dont hink you can have that wheel when you order your car. I have never been told by my dealer about the pricing list of OEM wheel. i guess they still havent ready yet this year for US customers.
but..give it a try, just call the dealer and ask them about the wheel you want. maybe they can add that as an extra option.

btw..that wheel is 18". if you like to dress up your car a little bit, i think its better to get non-OEM wheel sets. that will look so much better. (with a bit more money though ).try to get 19" if you want.

happy driving..

hmm..I think that wheels also gonna look awesome on e60. the "triangle" thing maybe will fit e60's futuristic side. but..based on my experience,im affraid that wheel style doesnt look as big as 19" eventhough you have 19" rims. the triangle make that..but your pic has modular in it. still, I think they gonna look great. (just dont buy the wheel with star spoke without modular style).

ohh..if you like star spoke style, you may consider ACZ. they have the new style i think for that kind of wheels.

try to look on ACZ, it may helps you to add info for your consideration.
but..personally i like your wheels more than ACZ though.
