Awesome wheels Where did you buy it and how much?
I bought them at the norwegian importer, Strandveien Auto of Trondheim, Norway. If I do some math they cost approx. 5000 Euro. You must remember we got 25% sales tax on all merchandise here :'(
And after some discusssion (Hartge sent the wrong tires on the rims) they finally put on some Michelin PS2s instead of Conti SC2 or Pzero Nero REAL GOOD service from the norwegian distributor, I really recommend them

Sweeet!!!! What about speedometer fluctuations since you went this far? How does the car feel? I was told that the more u increase the rims the more the performance (acceleration) drops. And it is a bit logical.

No speedo variations due to the diameter of the wheel is tha same as the original M135 with 245/40/18 all around. Haven`t noticed any performance loss either from going to bigger wheels. Did a test and it`s the same, exactly the same as before Comfort wise the new tires are better than the old 18" Dunlop runflats. There`s one major gain, tramlining is down to nearly zero
