If it makes you feel any better, I got a flat tire 2 days ago. Upon further inspection I found that the tire was fine and that the problem occured because the rim was cracked. I just received the replacement rim today (THANKS GARRY!) and will have it fixed Monday morning. Stupid potholes!! Boooo

Sergio - Give George at NYRIMFIX a call. He knows me. I sent both, Kerry (poleposition) and Dave (pennetta) to George. Both had their doubts. Both couldn't believe the outcome. It's like it never happened. I believe it's around $100 or $125. He'll come right to your office or your house.

PS - You should get new wheels also.

I feel twice the sorry.
Fact is that the 525i/d - 550i's are still equipped with 17" wheels and 225/50 RF tires as OEM in EU.
For a good reason, it seems.

WHOA! 
Was there any curb left???
Was there any curb left???Alas I curbed a wheel on my M5, exactly 21 hours after picking it up from the dealer. Never did that in the 550 with Active Steering. Of course what I consider curbing a wheel and what moschse considers curbing a wheel are two different things
Now will nyrimfix come to Chicago?
