My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
Tonight, my wife was driving home from work and something hit the rear wheel and caused major curb rash and some chipping. I need to replace this wheel. The worst part is, I spent all day Saturday detailing the car only to come home to this. She claims it was something sticking out in the road, but I don't see how that's possible considering the front is fine. It had to be a curb.
It's style 123 18" and has the high offset of ET43 (xi).
Anyone know where I can order 1 wheel and what I'm going to pay? bmwwheels.com wants $297/wheel, which seems a bit high. I don't want any replica's either. OEM only. What about Crevier BMW?
I could strangle her!!!

I know how you feel, my mum did the same thing with my old e46 18" too and my dad mark the rim on the e60 19". Well I just left it because I know if I fix it he will do it again and again.
any way I change my rim every 2 years so no point to fix too.
good luck finding a new wheel.

Yeah, I'm thinking of just leaving it. These wheels are actually becoming my winter wheels. I'm going to get 19's for summer, but still. It just KILLS me to look at it all the time.
every time I get the car I alway look at the rim.
1. I love looking at my rims.
2. to see if my dad as done any more marks on it.
I think itis part of my life now.

Look at the bright side, at least your family will drive your car. I have everyone in my family so paranoid they won't even go near my car. My daughter knows how I feel about curb rash that she parks the darn Volvo practically in the middle of the street so she doesn't hit the curb.

pinguhk, if you dad scratches your rims so much, why do you let him drive your car? how bout his car? Make him buy one rim and he'll learn never to do it again... 
I'm just kidding bro...
