jesus christ!!! I just bought wheels with new tires and was expecting to pop them on - learning the expensive tires wont work just sucks!!!

Ive tried t put on hartges classic 2 - no luck
Now i buy these - n no luck again!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Good thing i havent paid for them yet

Yes - ebay - the only market place I trust! LOL! I've been shopping for wheels for the past 3 months... i really like researching and learning from you pros - the time has come to get some decent wheels.

i am just going to buy the wheels and tires separate.

PS Just came back from Hawaii and I only saw three 5-series the entire trip...


mahalo!

yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

The REAL OEM M 166's with Conti Sport 2 tires were returned and I got a set of 19'' M 166 replicas - new wheels and tires for under 1400. Cant beat it.

Saved about 1300 bucks. My car is low budget, so these wheels match the theme

I spoke to the shop and they said it was "Italia" or something. I'm waiting for them to call me.

I got the M5 replicas installed today for even cheaper than I ever expected... The price was only $1100 from Nitrous Garage for new tires and wheels included transfering my TPS and all labor...

I love the wheels so much. Nitrous has great service and they only took 1 hour to swap out my wheels...

Great place to buy rims. their shop has a lot of diverse wheels.

I got a quote from Mark.

KUDOS to them! In all i saved about $1,400 on this package.
