You can ask the dealer if they have a stock set that can be chromed before you get there and just exchange and pay the difference. You could also elect to have a different stock set of rims chromed. The stock 545 rims chromed look good.

Shelly BMW told me they have a company that they work with that does this for them. I don't remember the name. Maybe your dealer knows.

Do you want to sell your factory wheels / tires?

Check out my previous post<--- to get a good look at several hundred after market rims (chrome and otherwise).


You can also check out tirerack.com<---.

Or if you do a search for bmw "chrome wheels" in google, you'll find many places to find what's available.

Check the yellow pages for local distributors. There's also a place in Gardena that's huge. Don't remember the name.
