Looking real good. As stated before, that is probably the combo that I will go for. It is even better that you have Mystic Blue 
so I can tell what it will look like now.
Thanks for the photos.

Hi Lomag
Did you go for runflats or not. Having trouble making my mind up on them.
The roads in our NJ/NY area really get full of potholes in the winter, and therefore thought non-runflat snows would give a better ride and protect the rims better.
What Think?

My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
I'm hoping to pick up a set of factory 17's but if I can't find the right deal, those are quite appealing. I've seen better looking wheels, but not for the price. I've always run a winter wheel/tire set up for the past 10+ years. I've bent a few wheels in my day (mostly replica wheels and some aftermarket) but have yet to bend a factory wheel. But for $129 I'd probably get an extra one just in case. (It would make a nice hose reel in the interim 
) Please post some pics once mounted.
Great job on the Forum, BTW

They are made in South Korea. It looks like they are a subsidiary of Hankook tire.

I ordered the same package for my 530i and was delivered last week. I got NON-run flats.
