Exactly. Especially when you consider the big time price increase that BMW just imposed for its wheels.

The wheels came with RFTs with some tread on them. I trashed them. I will never run anything other than dedicated snows on them. And my summer wheels are 19s, not 18s.
$450 is good. You gonna refurb the wheels?

I had to restore the one wheel with the minor bend. And it would have looked real strange to have 1 totally pristine wheels and 3 older looking wheels. I wanted my wheels to all look new. Now they do.

My Ride: A Car
that looks VERY nice. I might have my stock 124s refinished to graphite or gunmetal for winters. The stock silver looks to plain for the car with much stuff there. I'm waiitng for the guy in Queens Village who can powdercoat it. He's willing to dismount, refinish, mount and balance back the tires for a freakin good price too. That's better than painting it myself since I can't take the wheels off. My stockers look like crap from previous owner.

Scott, are they painted or powder-coated? The look amazing!
