Well it's my birthday on thursday and i want to throw some wheels on the 550i... technically since its my birthday i should be buying myself something and not the car but whatever.

I basically narrowed it down between two choices... please don't recommend any other rims because i constantly have these rims in stock so replacing one will not be a problem and the cost is going to be very cheap.

Vote away...

Both are going to be in a staggered fitment with Toyo T1R 285/30/20 R and 245/35/20 F

They have to be chrome because i have to represent my wheel and tire shop... we do all chrome or black here only.

Feel free to recommend some stuff but don't bother with multi piece forged stuff because i live in NY and that stuff gets bent easy around here. I had horrible experiences with DPEs,Iforged and HRE wheels on my previous cars.

Based on the two wheels, I voted Vault. They're similar to the 166.

D - I would say Vault if those are the only 2 choices, but I hate to see chrome rims on a BMW. It doesn't belong. Sorry man...just giving you my honest opinion.

PS - Happy Birthday!
