My Ride: 2009 535i
Here are my wheels. They arrived today. one small chip is present on the outside of the inner lip on one of the tires. Otherwise the tires look great.
Does anyone have pics of what the inside of their wheels look like with the tire on? I want to see how the tire sits on the wheel.

I just wanted to be sure that it would not be affected by this slight nick/scrape on the inside of one of the rims.

I have bought wheels from DWT and I've seen those little marks on the inner lip. It is absolutely nothing to worry about. The bead seats below that point on the rim.
After that will post pics with them installed!

Thanks for the reply. I have been paranoid about it. As long as the tires fit fine its cool. I saved over $1000. That totally rocks. Will probably have them installed around December. Going with the General Exclaim UHPs.
After that will post pics with them installed!

Here's a link to a tire comparo by Car and Driver. The Hankooks ranked as good if not better than Michelin PS2's in almost every area.
