Braelin?

They have identical styles to Miro and VMR, I can order any of the above locally.

Just wondering if anyone heard of these?

The ones in the link look nice. I wonder how much they weigh though - saying they are "lightweight" without actually posting the weight makes one wonder.

I agree, but weight is not too important for me, since I don't track my car. As long as it's strong, doesn't bend or crack easily, I'm good.

So I spoke to my local tire shop (Extreme Wheel and Tire) and they recommend the following package...

MRR UO2 silver finish (I have a black 545i)

Tires...either Falcons or Nexxen (http://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/hi...formance/n3000), I am leaning more towards the Falcons
Front 245/35/19
Rear 275/30/19

Will find out how much on Monday.

Thanks!

I emailed MRR about the wheels yesterday, tey responded within an hour. The 19x8.5 are 25.5 lbs and the 19x9.5 are 26.5lbs. Ive seen wheels that are much heavier than this and wheels that are lighter but without something to compare them to who is to say if they are heavy or light. Does anyone know what BWW factory 19" Wheels weigh?

Ok I ended up ordering Miro 111's staggered set and Continental DM rubber. Hope it works out. Should be here next Friday.

Thanks all for the recommendations on Miro.

Thanks, will do

The next thing I will mod is the window trim, turn it from chrome to black. Have to buy a whole new set from BMW.

Can't wait!

Nice!

I'm also putting an order in for the Miro 111 tomorrow in hyper silver, 20' with the square set up and also finally getting my m5tech bumpers painted (jet black also) Can't wait
