Welcome to the forum. Nice set of wheels. What tires are they on and how is the ride? I can't wait till my runflats wear out so I can replace them with lighter regular tires. Pirelli PZERO or Goodyear Eagle F1. Any suggestions?

Rezbel,
Thanks for the note... I do have runflats (Michelins) -- they ride pretty well so far, a bit rough, but nothing that makes me unsatisfied... how about you? Are you experiencing problems?

Awww, man, I wanted 5-spoke wheels on mine! Yours look awesome.
My dealer said I would basically have to buy a second set fresh, no credit or nothing. So I have the standard 7-spoke wheels that come with the 545iM.

Tab545,
Great story... dealer had the same reaction when I said I wanted to swap the 'stock' sport wheels for the 125s -- he wanted to charge me $4995 additional. I told him to get lost and waited until I had consumated the deal to bargain. I walked out of the finance guy's office and offered $1,500 to trade out the stock wheels for the 125's and he jumped at the additional profit!

Bike99,
Nice wheels. Looks a little more balanced than 20's on the rear. (The 20's seem to make the car look like it's sitting on it's haunches.) So your saying your wheels came from the dealer? I had tried to switch to 19's but they told me I couldn't without affecting the warranty and they did not offer anything larger than the standard 545i wheels.
