Just curious what model these rims are??
I looked around and couldn't get any info on the actual model number?
I'm picking up my new 530i with M-Sport Pack tomorrow and the dealer is offering these rims on special with rubber....I think I'll replace the original 18" with this 19" set....

Those rims come included on the 550i M-Sport Pack - Style 172M
Are you getting to keep your 18's. I'd be interested, PM me. I'm sure we could meet up in Oakville/Missauga.
I can't wait to pick mine up tommorrow either...

Do they make them as 18" models or only 19"?
Just how different would the ride quality be on 19" vs. 18" if it only comes in 19"?
Is it a lot rougher?
Thx

I don't think it'll change the ride in any way....The difference would really come from going from run flats to standard tires....otherwise, I think its pretty much the same..!

My Ride: Currently a 2000 540i 6spd
I have those on my new '07 550 that I've been driving for close to two months now.
They didn't come with run-flats.
They look even better in person; definately has that "WOW" look. Kind of a bitch to clean, but as long as you spray it every couple of weeks, you should have no worries.
As far as ride, I couldn't be happier... although I prefer sport to luxury in terms of handling/feel.
