My Ride: 2010 528i XDrive - Alpine White
Dakota Black Leather, Premium Package, Dark Burlwood Trim, 20% tint on entire car.
So I was going to get some new rims but I found a shop that repaired my M6 Reps wonderfully!!! They had a crack in one of them and every rim had curb rash. I will not tell you who put the cur rash on them because I love my wife and she is a great driver.
Anyway, what do you all recommend for new rubbers? My Falken 452's are getting there and I need to get some good replacements. Low noise, great performance and a little under a million dollars.
Let me know your thoughts and experiences as I will be making the purchase as soon as I get some good feedback!

Love your car man, great pic it looks sick. I have a couple questions for you....did your car come stock with Xzenon headlights?...I have a 2010 528i Xdrive...and if found out later that I have halogen headlamps!! (pissed off) My car has tons of options too, its weird that it doesnt have them. ANyways, just wondering if you had to change yours to HID and if you did how you went about it....Question 2 is thinking of getting some wheels for my car too and if I do they are going to be 20s...Wondering about the ride you get from them and are you happy with them?..Any suspension adjustments and if not did your car come with that sport suspension. Thanks, any insight would be great! Love the way your car looks. Mine is apline white.

My Ride: See my signature
Independent of price, you are absolutely spot on. If price is an object, the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos are outstanding. Had mine on for two seasons (spring/summer/fall) (I use dedicated snows for winter) and they are fantastic. At less than $200 per tire, they are an unbelievable value. But if I wasn't on a tire budget thanks to the Missus, Michelin Pilot Super Sports would be on my ride.

Since we're on this topic, and my car is at the "Stealer", just got a call from the SA, and am told that the inside of my tires are almost worn out to the point of the wires showing! I checked out the tire tread at Costco and they told me that 3/8" is laft and that I could drive for another 10K miles. But they didnt check the inside of the tires. The quote is a whopping $2529.98 including alignment!
Guess have to go back to Costco for them to check them out thoroughly. Btw whats the deal with the factory studs? I heard that not all tires accomodate the BMW studs,and that the ones that do fit cost quite more? Can someone please elaborate on this?
