I live in NY NYC Suburbs Westchester County, Alot of Pot Holes and I am an aggressive driver.

That's what you get for racing those cabs from and to the lights. Pot holes, some elected officials aren't using your tax dollars properly. Cell phones, you can't blame the car but yourself. Happy driving.

Hey Faze, I live near White plains also and I also have bent all four rims.
I haven't had any problems with the stock rims and tires but I bent the snow rims. Mille Miglia MM2's with dunlop ds2 runflat snows.

Hey E60 Net, Long time since I signed on. I guess the excitement of owning the 545i was long gone after year 1. It's a great car except for the rims & tires. I still get some eye catchers,maybe because there are no real WoW cars out there. My lease is up in 11/06 cant wait.

So why the "can't wait" comment?

Thanks for all your replies. (especially the low blow ones) Yes i am to blame for hard driving and hitting every pot hole.

I purchased 4 stock 545i Sport rims and tires for $1125 (included delivery) came off a 2005 545i sport with less than 5000 miles, owner bought after markets. So the last 11 month i can have a normal ride again.

BMW is a great but I guess when you had 4 of them its time for a change. to all the 545i owners enjoy it.
