From their ebay ad:

For '04-'06 BMW 5 Series & '91-'97 8 Series with 245/35/19-Front & 275/30/19-Rear size tires.
# Kumho Ecsta SPT Ultra High Performance Tires - $1449
# Dunlop Direzza DZ101 Ultra High Performance Tires - $1549
# Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Ultra High Performance All Season Tires - $1899
# Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Ultra High Performance All Season Tires - $2149



you're not that far off from getting OEM 172's from gary at newport BMW and a set of tires from tirerack.com. Why not post a WTB 172 thread in the classified section as well. About 2 months ago there were a few sets going around. I would pass on these reps IMHO....

I'd check into what warranty and factory certification these offer- are they JWL and VIA certified?

Work VS-XX are some of the nicest wheels made in my opinion. I'd keep them if I were you
