Before replacing the setup, I'd give your local BMW center a call and see if they recommend anyone...I'm sure they partner with a local firm that specializes in this. I bought my car with 2 bent rims and the service dept had someone come in and true them up free to me, but about $150/wheel for the service. No more vibration or loss of air...everything worked out great. Might be worth a shot before sinking in 1-2k for a new setup. Good luck.
thanks mike i would look into that

get some heavier duty wheels seems you drive on some bad roads
No issues since I switched to BBS forged wheels... and the roads in New England are horrible compared to areas of the world that don't get long winters with snow, ice, freezing temps etc.

I got them balanced today due to vibration when i get around 40 mph and 110mph, turns out they are balanced, but they are either bent or warped. I got them redone completely and i didn't see any bends. My right rear M5 rim is warped. The guy told me if i changed my tires out id feel it less. I need to replace them since the tread is close to bald anyway, but do you think that will ease the vibration? Im so frustrated, i spent $550 getting them all refinished and to solve the vibration because one of the wheels were cracked, and now i find out one of them is Warped. Why is it every time i care about my cars, they end up with more problems.
Dealer tried to tell me that my mind was warped. I did not like it one bit. BTW, has anyone seen my horse?

+1 ... even high-end wheels are likely to get straightened up but be sure to pick a reputable shop that does this sort of work. Your BMW dealer should have a couple they use or check with a knowledgeable Porsche or other high-line auto service center.
