I am looking into changing my 545i Type 124 wheels (18") to Type 125 wheels (19").

Do I have to have an alignment done after upgrading the wheels and tires?

Does anyone have experience with this place?

Yes it is recommended to do an allignment after you changed your wheels. Just go to any BMW dealer and they are able to do it for you. The dealer that i went to charged $170 for the allignment..

I was thinking since the actual width and diameter of the two setups, 124 vs 125 doesn't change, an alignment wouldn'be be necessary?
