You can pickup the CSL wheels and tires like C has for under $2K, just ordered a set myself for my 2006 530xi
Too Solid, spending more like $2500 for everything is crazy on a leased vehicle. Go CSL 19's in HyperBlack. And don't forget the TPMS.

I contacted vipmodular.com and got a quote. Tell me if this sounds good,
"20 inch will run for $1465 a wheel, I can offer you $1200 a wheel which will run about $4800 a set. I recommend running 20x8.5 front and 20x10.5 rear for you 535.. Lip size will be 2.5" front and 4.0" rear. Tire I can get for you but will run around $1050 for falken, hankook, nitto etc. $1300 we can get higher end tires for perfomance. a package Deal will run about $5850 with average tires... Shipping to Canda depend to a business or Local will be around $250-350 with duty."
My vehicle is a lease so I don't know if I wanna fork out that kinda dough on wheels. I was thinking more like $3000. I might go with the vip's though. With what the representative stated above does that sound right? and would the wheels fit?

Nope no vibration at all 
high offset Miro 346 (at least) has hub centric design to fit E46 & E9x which fit xi model nicely.
Sportier ride quality and steering wheel feel the same (weight wise) as far as bump I would say just a notch 'cuz I went from 50 profile on 17" all around to 35/30 profile on 19" and wider but I like it.

Sorry for jumpin' in...
It will, I'm using ET35 up front (only choice of Miro) maybe not much diff. but wish for ET38 instead (maybe even ET40), it still flush but on the aggressive side for me. While the back I'm using ET40 and it's perfect (I think C. added 10mm spacer which should make his rear offset at ET35 now) but next choice from Miro for me is ET33 which seems to be too aggressive for me.

No, they are not OEM.

I might have gotten these myself had I known about them prior to my CSL purchase...grass always greener....http://www.bekkers.com/Merchant2/merchant....;Category_Code=
