[quote name='Ray' date='Oct 27 2005, 06:00 PM']Thanks Sliu_uu, I will check it out once I got the car.
Hey, I just noticed that yours is very similar to mine Black on Grey with Aluminum. Also you got the 122, that's the one I wanna get too. May I know where did you get it and approx how much? Thanks

[/quote]Right mate, there's also a shop besides Yeung Wor Hospital in Happy Valley, I have not been there yet but a friend of mine who lives in the Hong Kong side buy tires from them and they have OEM rims there for sale on consigment, the price is reasonable too.

Hi Shield & Sliu_uu,
I actually visited Auckland about a month ago and stayed in the Takapuna area. It's a nice country.
Hi fun2drive,
So we attended the same school. But I was there long time ago (when they first built the Vari Hall). Welcome abroad!

Actually, I got mine from gf366. Therefore the "friendly" price shouldn't be used as reference when comparing with second hand OEM wheels at tire shops. I think anywhere between $7-$8k is reasonable for a set of 90%+ new style 122 + runflat tires.

As for pricing, I have seen a set of 138 17" (525i) selling for $7500 at a tire shop with the RFT, and I have also seen a set of 123 selling for $8500 so you can use this as your reference.

Just caught up with latest posts. Interesting how we're shifting focus to age and girls now...hahaha. I love this forum. Let's just say, "the grass is always greener on the other side". or us chinese say, "rice next door is always more fragrant". Married guys (except newly weds) wish they're single and single guys...well, just want more girls....hahaha !
And welcome fun2drive. So are u now in HK? or Can?

Btw, last week I filled up for the very first time with V-Power gas (b4 has always been the cheapy reg. unleaded gas). Altho I can't really tell the difference in "performance", the tank seems to last longer than reg unleaded.....maybe just my wishful thinking and imagination
