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?

info@trinityautosport

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''.

Ohh thanks for the info dude.. damn 3,000 sounds big ... too tempting though What did u do with ur old tires/rims then?

info@trinityautosport

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

info@trinityautosport

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.

coolguy

ohh k. so that $3k total is for him to ship it to you. I guess you installed them yourselves? Any idea how much xtra to have it installed by a BMW Dealer

info@trinityautosport

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.

coolguy

Ahh k .. now its clear. Thanks for the info.
