Thumbs up

When we were changing our tires to summer tires 2 of the rims were cracked and we decided to get new rims. I was looking at the M6 Rims STYLE #167 i think they are pretty good. What else do you think i should get. The car is 2005 545i and prefer 19 inch rims. im looking for rims that looks good but not too expensive.

I found this site www.finishlinewheels.com and the rims were pretty cheap the style #167 cost 399 each and replicas are $251 is this place any good?

If you're looking for OEM 19"s, 166s are nice, too.

it looks like that site sells refurbished wheels. which is why the 167's are a bit cheaper on there. so thats about $1600 for the wheels plus another $100 for shipping. for about another $500 you can get brand new ones shipped from either tischer or newport.

good luck!
