for my wheels the dealer offers it at 4k retail just for rims i believe.. i got them for about 3k altogether. but if you are looking into buying them, or another oem style, pm quad_m. im sure he can cut you a deal.

for cleaning check out the detailing forum. members here usually recommend rejex as ive read and also other products. be sure to check it out. a lot of useful information there as there is everywhere in this forum.

as for me, i have a self car wash behind my garage across the alley in the area where i live. just soap and water to wash. for wax i used to use eagle one spray nanowax. now i use meguiar's nxt. i highly recommend meguiars. my reasoning is that when i used the nanowax and the car just sat in the garage for a while, when it came to the weekend it was clean but it had dust all over. when i used meguiar's, and i left it in the garage until the weekend, the only thing on my car was the remains of the cloth i used to apply the wax. there was no dust at all. for the windows i just use windex, and also on the headlights and tail lights. for the interior i just vacuum and wipe it down with armor all leatherguard wipes.

So u had to replace just the RIMS and not the tire? The 2006 525i comes with 18" or 19" Tires by default?

oh for sure i had to replace the tires. i just got the tires included in that 3k. 525i, like the 530i, would come with 17'' rims without sport package and 18'' rims with sport package i believe. mine now, the 128s, are 19''.

oh its very tempting.. gotta add your own style to your car with wheels. my old wheels and tires at the time were regarded by the dealer worth $600 so it went to them.

so by going with quad_m (is he a dealer?), he has to ship them to me right (I live in NJ 08876) .. wouldnt shipping cost itself is expensive? I am not quite sure how this will work if we go w/ quad_m ?

Does he ship them to you, then you take it to ur dealer and get them installed? Thanks. By the way, do u happend to use any IMs? if u use gmail, ping me @ pmendu@gmail.com, we can talk there directly

quad_m provides oem parts and m-tech parts and aftermarket as well. he's located in florida i believe. and yes he ships them to you fast (2 days i think). you can get the parts installed at the dealer or a local motorsport shop if you want or you could even do it yourself. send him a pm. and sorry i dont use gmail.

naw dude i got my rims and tires from my dealer... they installed it too. so i paid about 3k for the rims, tires, and installation. i guess one good reason is my dad works there too. i was just refferring you and telling you about quad_m and what your options are if you do get it shipped to you. sorry if i got you confused.
