Hi all,

This is a first post for me. I have just got myself a 535d m sport and want to buy some 20" Miro 111 in silver but the only way seems to be buying them from the US which seems very expensive to get them to the UK. Can anybody help.

Unfortunately since Miro is a US based company, I do not think there are any retailers in Europe that stock these.

We can ship you a set at a reasonable rate using freight economy service, feel free to PM or email me for a quote

I actually think havin them imported is quite reasonable in costs. Here in the uk we pay a fortune for rims. I'm also lookin to get a set of miro 111s in 20" black an the best quote I've had was $1600 for rims and falken tyres including shipping. So that works out about £1000 gbp which is very reasonable. I also expect to be hit with vat and import duty when they arrive and I calculate that at around 24% total, (I work in logistics and these are latest rates based on item commodity codes). If u compare that to the price of similar wheels and tyres here in the uk u should find yourself still saving a few ££££!

Cal - perhaps u could please quote me for a set and see if u can beat/ match my best quote so far?! Thanks!

Well I have found some that look similar from a company based in Bristol called projex http://wheelsworldwide.co.uk/wheels/projex/pkb/apf
They were asking for £2350.00 with continental 8.5 front and 10 rear. Tyre sizes I asked for are 245/35/20 & 275/30/20 (can anyone confirm these would be right. I am also planning on buying the Eibach pro kit). The best price I have had for having the Miro 111 shipped over from the US is for $1500.
So Tristan if you could let me know which company it is that would be great and lets see what Cal can do.
