My Ride: 1) 2004 BMW 530IAlpine WhiteLuxury PackageNavigation 2) 2009 Range Rover Sport Supercharged
ok guys, ive made up my mind.
i need new rims and i think im going to go for the m6 style rims, #167's i believe.
I hear the OEM ones cost close to $3k so im all about the replicas. Definately going with the 19's. Anybody know a good place to order these?
What's a good tire size where ride quality is not sacrificed? Im all about the ride so i dont want to sacrifice any part of it.
Any particular brand of tire i should stay away?
Anything else i need to keep in mind?
Thanks for the help fellas!!

Location updated, Im in Northern VA by the way, a good 20 minutes from Washington Dc.
I really want the 19's so i am going to stick with them, i currently have 17's so jumping to 18's isnt a huge difference so the 19's are my pick.
I dont think im going to go with the run flats.
