speedracerF4i and SLVR530I,

The prices for the Excel Binno 20s are down to US$1050. If you go through and look for BMW wheels, they appear higher than that, but if you click on Specials from the home page an scroll down, you will see the 20" listed for 1050 with tires and all. A good package for those looking for a cost effective upgrade. Especially if you have Ti-Silver or Silver-gray.

Thanks for the info and also just a thought, from my experience, if you do go with cost effective wheels
I highly suggest you do go with very good tires, because you may sometimes get vibrations cuz I sometimes do

ALso my friend who works for KUHMO has said that if you gow with bigger tires like 20's, they are louder than normal, like I said upgrade to nicer set of tires

havent noticed any degradation in radio reception. Huper Optik is probably best but can cost quite a penny. Try using LLumar. It has lifetime warranty as well and looks great.
