Ok, you have a 525, its not like you are going to be burning around a track smoking tires like on Top Gear. I would not spend 4K on rims thats for sure. Atleast yours is an i so you can get some nice dish on the wheels.

VMR wheels are priced really really really well. You may want to take a look at those also.

Good luck and welcome to the club, you will love your bimmer

This is a good price for a 3pcs forge customize wheels. I got my 2pcs wheels around that price. Is there any additional charge for sizes, offsets, or customize paint?

I know you guys sell uForged U20 wheels which are similar but the DPE SP20's look better in my opinion.



Also, thank you guys for recommending DPE wheels to me but they are just way out of my price range. My wife would kill me if I bought something like this.
Any wheel design
Any fitment (offset, bore, etc.)
Any finish (paint, chrome, polish, etc.)
Anything only limited by your imagination.

As for the wife, this is why you need a separate mod fund .
Or buy something equal for the wife

I heard Umnitza honors its pricing to E60 members? Or, do they?

Sales: M5 Front lip

You have it listed for $149. It used to be $99. I would like to buy it, but for the original price I saw it for.

Will you honor the old price? Please let me know.

Regards, Alex

No, really?! I didn't see that when I was writing you the first email, duh!

Somehow the markup of this product went up by 50% and was quoted later as an introductory price. What is this a credit card company or an e-retailer? Sell it for $99. Its not worth $150.

Trinity, can you please for the love of God offter this lip? If I have to pay $150 for it, I'd rather buy it from you than these asshats who can't even dropship their own products and offer fair margins. I'm not in the mood to get bent-over with markup.

It was a 5" rear and 3.5-4" front (depending on how you measure it).

His were 20s and they were barely 25.5lbs.
