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.
Mega box 1 is on the high side but they do have very good service
if just walk in the prices will be like seafood price
wow that price is good
Me and mo may get the GTS from there I will get it from there and then drive to Mega box for the N2
just like to ask are the GTS come with the spacers for that price
at mega box the 23.5k is with the spacers and free N2.
also 12 months instalment

wow 2k for your old wheels.
what size are they maybe I buy them off you.

Is that really will drain the battery quick? or only because it is higher than normal pre-set value?
I don't know what they installed into your car but some say on the forum that it will drain the battery quick if not installed right.
our cars will go on standby even if you don't drive it so it uses the juice not much

Maybe your hifi system keep waking up your car (We have sleep mode for our car) and that drain the battary.
Dont ignore this problem mate as it might cause other electronical faults in long term.
I have to copy the message from the idrive later.

I think the system is off as I saw all lights at the amp and audio control go off around 2 mins after I locked the car.

Called BMW services but they said it will charged for $1000 for checking the computer code.

The 3rd and 4th are replica, and i don't want replica for 1) I want a lighter one 2) if I spend 16k for a set of replica, why not 22k with a brand name. that's my wife told me when he bought her handbag.
100% agree on the reps
I used to have 19" ACS type 4 reps and cost me 14500 and for 8k more I can get lighter 1s
just to let you know the reps that are made now are very good compare to brand name.
If they do reps on the GTS and for 1500 each then I get them now

Trust me, light wheel wont do anything, the look is far more important.
yes light wheels is just a bonus on our cars, unless you race every weekends
