I went to my brother in law's wedding this weekend. Washed and detailed the beloved E60 night before. On the way to the church, wham I hit a pot hole at fwy off ramp. Loud bang noise. Not good. Got to the church and inspection begins...
Okay not to bad, its only minor scrape. No damages to tire.
So I parked E60 in Good Spot next to the entrance. Endless comment from people about the Wheels, M-Kit and rest of the car. "What kind of car is this?" to "M5 wanna be huh (This guy was driving a Hyundai elantra)" I saw lots of E60's in lot (I counted to total of 12 E60's).
So today, I called my local dealer ship and told them what happen. They reminded me that I have wheel and tire protection plan upto $4000.00 per occurrence.
Great! I went famous local rim repair shop "Tru Wheel" in North Hollywood for repair. They gave me a quote of $100.00 for 100% guarantee repair in two days.
My insurance also took my claim and the check is on the way. (Thank You God.)
I will post repaired rim picture later.

So those Moven wheels can take some punishment, huh? Are you satisfied with their quality and how they're holding up?
Well after several balancing and correct tire pressure. zero vibration. Handles great. much faster cornering. Great quality. I like them much better than 166 wheels. It sure took some abuse
