Hey guys, have a 2005 545i w/sport package, and found out that 3/4 rims are bent =(. Dealer wants to charge me $834 each for the rears, and $444 for the front (I didnt ask if this was just for the rims, or rims and tires but who knows probably just for rims).

Since I will have to get these replaced at some point, I was interested in just getting new rims all around instead of the stock ones I currently have (245/40/18 F, 275/35/18 R, style star spoke 124). I wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations on where to look for new rims? I was particularly interested in the M6 rims as I have seen some other members who have this setup on their e60, but I do not know what exact offsets to look for, etc.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!!

Tirerack is pretty popular. You can even view how the rims will sort of look on your car.

I've seen this place advertised in the back of Roundel magazine.... http://wheelcollision.com/bmw.htm

They have refurbished 124's for $275 rear/ $245 front. M6 166's for $395 rear/ $375 front.

I know nothing about them, just seen them advertised....might be worth checking out though.

I suggest looking into Velocity Motoring (VMR), Avant Garde (AG) or MIRO.

All 3 of these manufacturers offers great looking wheels and most styles are available in 19" in your price range.

We can package any of these wheels with tires for a ready to install setup as well.

As always, for more information and other members' suggestions.

Feel free to shoot me a PM / E-Mail or call if you had any questions.

VMR VB3 CSLs




VMR V710 / AG M310

If you want real OEM BMW wheels..go to getbmwparts.com
They are expensive though..other options are: you can either get replicas (which cost less but aren't the same quality as OEM) or you can go to the Private Member Classifieds forum here..you can find good deals from people. I almost ended up buying 19' style 172 from a guy for $1550(all 4 wheels which were almost new) but something came up. But yea GL on finding the right rims :]
