Hello! I just purchased 2006 530i sports titanium grey color recently and came with style 124 chromed, rft tires. How do I check if these wheels are oem and not replica? I dont particularly like the ride because of too much noise and kind of bumpy. I would like to go size 19 staggered but not interested of dropping car. Is it possible to go size 19 staggered without changing springs, shocks, or dropping my car? What is the right offsets if wheel is non oem. Any suggesttion on wheel and non rft tires is much appreciated. I would like to keep my budget to 2kor below only. Thanks

check the inside of the wheels, it should saw where its made and you can tell by that
usually though, rep 124s are pretty few and far between.
modbargains.com and trinity autosport are great for good prices for mods
Nerweezy should be PMing you soon

you have sport package so no, you dont need a drop.
eibach prokit sits just a few milimeters shorter than your current ride height and the gap is perfect
go through trinity autosport for these wheels. I would recommend the CSL reps in hyperblack staggered.
I also got the general exclaim UHP tires to go with them.
After being mounted and balanced and shipped I paid $1700.

Hi again! So you are saying gap is not noticeable going from 18 sports to 19 staggered? This is the reason that Im hesitant to go 19 because of big gap created if i go to 19 wheels. Thanks again.

right, with a drop or with the oem sport suspension, it looks very good
