Bought some style M167 with m6 offset back at the beginning of October, now that I'm back from my deployment I just need the tires to go with them. Those should be showing up Wednesday and everything will be going on the car then. Since the rims have such a large gap between the spokes I'm probably going to paint the calipers soon and possibly add the BMW stickers to it. Also I noticed that the rims didn't come with the little ///M sticker. Is eBay a reliable source for these or should I try ask the dealer for these. I have had luck in the past with them just giving me small parts like that for free when I'm in for maintenance. Anyway here's a pic of one of the rims until I get them put on. Sorry for the horrible quality my camera broke a few months ago.
Also, I would like to add how amazing Tire Rack is, I had my wife order the tires using my Paypal account last week knowing shipping would take a week. Since I wasn't able to check my email or voicemail until Saturday, I didn't know Tire Rack requests a confirmation before shipping. I emailed them explaining my situation and how I need the tires to make a Thanksgiving Day trip to the in-laws. I got a reply this morning and was surprised when they offered me 3 or 2 day shipping at a 1/4 the price. I accepted the 2 day offer and they will ship out today and arrive Wednesday.

Great looking wheels! Congrats on your purchase!
It's always nice to hear good news about vendors too. Too often you hear only about their faults.

Just got back from visiting the in-laws and got a few shots of the car. The first one is right after they were put on. All I need now is the M stickers and they will be complete. Anyway here's the pics.
