My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Billy Boat w/ y-resonator removed.
Default

Well, sistainlaw was able to get me a set of brand new ContiWinterContacts that were pulled off an Audi A8 - perfect condition with about 1000 or less miles on them. I pulled the very well worn stock tires off the '05 545i and had these mounted up for a perfect set of winter wheels / tires.

Now I am thinking about a new set of wheels for summer tires. My car does not have the sport package, but I am thinking 18" or 19" staggered. I've been looking at Beyern, Miro.... then I found this website that says they have OEM and replica BMW wheels available so I started to think about the 128 or 101.

Any input on the dealer ( http://www.finishlinewheels.com/ ) or the style / size rims I am thinking about??

Here's a shot of the car for reference ~

finishline stinks. they don't have any of the wheels they list, at least for BMWs. Either look elsewhere, or keep your eyes on the classified section. Some of the online bmw dealers are selling the entire set with tires already mounted for $3k. When you figure you'd be paying at least $1200 for the tires they come with (continental sport 2s) that's not a bad deal.
