Anybody know of anyone selling a set of factory 17"'s preferably in New England area? I've had bad experiences with some non-factory wheels in the past.

I ordered the ASA JH3 Rims with the 17" Dunlop Winter Sport M3 Run Flats from Tirerack.

I'm confused as to whether the ASA JH3 is is a compatible wheel for me (645Ci). I believe that the 545i and 645 share the same brake dimensions, but I just got a note from Tirerack saying that the ASA JH3 were incompatible with my front brake caliper size. I realize that I'm trying to infer from the 545i recommendation what works on my 645Ci, but this seems to be the same brake dimensions, so I'm confused as to why this would not work.

Anyone know if I am correct in assuming that the 545i and 645 share the same brake dimensions? (that's what I read). If so, then if it works on the 545i, then it should work on the 645Ci, right?
