TPMS or FTMS - If equipped you might need a stem kit (new gaskets) when you install them on your new wheels.

I would double check center-bore to assure proper fit on your car before you mount tires. Clean and lubricate wheel hub to prevent wheel binding on car when you install.

OH -

Clean and paint your calipers while everything is off your car!

My Ride: 2007 530i White/Dakota leather, sport package, nav,

When I ordered my wheels they came filled already with nitrous on the rims and I didn't want to deflate them so now I get the TPM error message on my car, if you have tpm on your car you will have to deflate both sets of wheels and take the sensors from your old wheels and place them in your new ones.
