I need some 17" or 18" rims for a 520d and was wondering if there is any models/manufactures that I should stay away from ?

Thanks in advance

Look for BMW OEM Individual rims.

They cost a lot, but for sure they are both excellent and exceptional.

BBS has been taken over in June 2007 by "Punch International NV" "a Belgian diversified industrial group focusing on providing total solutions" (this is what they say on their website... (www.punchinternational.com)

But the wheel/rim business is still goin' on.
