What kind of rims are these in the attached pictures. They are 19's. Im looking to purchase a 545 MT and there is a 04 I'm looking at with a build date prior to 02/04 since the warranty expires in a week. Anyway it has these rims on it. Am I screwed with IPOD and Bluetooth with this particular model?

They could also be "New Age" by Monet which is a Harge knockoff. They are available in several finishes. Not sure of the quality but I've seen them on some forum members cars and I almost got them too. Pretty nice at a fraction of the cost!

They are Monet "New Age" wheels, those are the silver finish and they come in 8.5 x 19 and 9.5 x 19 staggered. I am waiting on set as we speak as they are on back order. However you can also get these wheels in crome finish, and Velocity Motoring has some rims called VB2's that are the same except with a hyper black finish.

The set should run you about $900-$1100 depending on which ones you get.......hope that helps

Hartge Classic's. I looked at these, but the only thing about these wheels that I don't like is that when you do a deep dish wheel in a 19" size, the wheel actually looks more like an 18" wheel because the spokes don't extend all the way to the outer circumference of the wheel. The best size to do, if you want deep dish wheels, are 20's. However, that might not be ideal for many people based on where you live and the road conditions...
