Even now, I think my 19" looks small but people say that because of the wheel design, it looks smaller than what it really is!

yeah I just got a pay rise of 10% that is why I can get them sooner
but if I get the rims then I can not get my Canon 16-35L 2.8 and 24-70L 2.8
these 2 will have to wait until next year

I believed so few weeks ago, then I went to Kowloon side to check, including the one next to Megabox. That one quoted a high price for me. I understand the price quoted to a water fish swam to the shop will always be high, if you are not friend of someone.

Some comparable prices from the shop at tin hau for your refernce :
- full sets of 19" Breyton GTS rim with Z101 tire $22k, additional with 2k dedcution for my returned wheel and plus free 4 wheel alignment
- Z101 tire 245/35/R19 $1500 275/30/R19 $1700
- Yokohama S Drive 245/35/R19 $2100 275/30/R19 $2500

Quite competitive compared with the price given by Capt 16".

I had quite good expernience with this shop till now. He quoted me the Advan wheel and I told him I concerned about the Chrome colour; then he orderd 1 from the dealer and showed me the real one the next day, even though I did not spend any in the his shop yet.

Sorry telegogo, i dont feel any of them,
The advan looks ok if they are not chrome, the rest are no good for E60.
2nd looks cheap, 3rd looks cheap n poser as its M3 replica, 4th looks classic BMW if it is for E39, definitely not for E60

Y 2009. tow months old.

Is that really will drain the battery quick? or only because it is higher than normal pre-set value?
