PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE GUYS. PLEASE DON'T READ AND NOT VOTE YOUR OPINION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

They're for my 535xi and I need to get them soon. The O.Z. wheels are very expensive but aggressive. The front wheels have a 1 1/2" lip and the rear wheels have a 2" lip.

I like them both but I prefer the O.Z. wheels. The only problem is they're about $920 each wheel at tirerack. The BBS wheels are about $500 each. These prices do not include the TPMS sensors and shipping.

I put the price of the wheel in my post but with tires I don't know. I have my original tires that came with the car and they are brand new. I got the car in october and by december the snow tires were on. The wheels alone are $920 each for the OZ.

PM either r1racer or John@EuroRev, they might be able to beat those prices. no promises, but worth a shot!

i've personally dealt with both and they are great guys to do business with!

i agree.... those prices seem kinda steep.... imho.. but what do i know! If you must order one of those two wheels.. get the OZ's.... they're kinda overpriced for what you're getting. I think you could DPE's, or GFE's for the same amount or less.....

What size are they 19's or 20's????
