No one is talking about a plan for the next meet anymore?

Yeah I think people are getting ready for Christmas already.
For those who are driving around with 16" and looking for replacement. Go to http://www.sunhingmotor.com.hk and look under the used section, they have a style 138 rim for sell 17" from 525i although they listed it as 15". $7,000 is what most shop charge for that set of rim so is reasonable.

Don't need heated steering wheel, just put those wool cover over your steering wheel, makes your steering wheel feels like the M wheel (thickness wise) and goes great with your M kit

Thanks for your info ACS5,
I think I am the only one here still using the original rims comes with 523
,I would like to change my original wheels (Style 115) to those 18" later on, sill considering Style 123/124/135
do you know what's the price different between them? and how much I got to pay that for new/used one?
and side effect for doing this except the fuel consumption? eg. do I need to mod the suspension?
