My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
The CSL's cost the same pretty much everywhere you look, $899...so the issue is who can you trust to mount & balance the tires, TPMS and ship them to your door, ready to go.
Most vendors will charge the same for whatever setup because the tires & TPMS are usually purchased via Tirerack.com & not marked up. You are essentially paying the going rate on the tires, rims and TPMS and the only labor is the mounting and balancing, and of course you pay the shipping cost of the tires from Tirerack to the vendors, whether they admit it or not.
Modbargains uses OEM TPMS. Tirerack sells After-market TPMS...no real difference in reliability, though...just more expensive for OEM.
Velocity Motoring also makes their own CSL reps. The Miro's (from what I've read) have a more reliable finish, although their Silver color isn't as bright as VMR's.....according to my info from Don at Modbargains.
I bought direct from Velocity Motoring: TPMS w/ valvestems were $200. Bridgestone RE050a tires were $1060 (including shipping cost from TR to VMR), Mounting/Balancing was $80. Shipping to my house was $150.
TOTAL of $2389 delivered. My tires were more than some others, so you can get cheaper General UHP's if you desire.
My best advice, per your OP, be VERY gentle with the finish! They are painted, not powder-coated, and will flake and chip if you impact them even lightly with the Lug wrench, wheel balancers, tire installation machines, and any other contact with tools of any sort. I would know because I had to send a rim back as a result of flaking. I'd try the Miro's if I was doing it again.
