My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
I'm talking about my money 
not what YOU thought (Eric! 
)
I went and made an offer on a set of 19" BBS's. That's all I'm going to say for now, because the offer hinges on the seller having to wait for a couple of weeks before I can actually pick the wheels up. Still may fall through. But I'm so excited
I couldn't hold it in - had to share it

The seller wants me to pay extra because I'm making him wait, so we'll see if this works out.
In the meantime, one of the options I looked at, but decided they might end up looking really cheap, are these VMR Magnum 19's:
they are discontinued now and there are a few sets floating around the internet at a good low price. I like how minimalist they are, but at the same time, like I said, I really want to avoid "cheapifying" the look of the car.

Seller confirmed - if all goes as planned, I'm picking them up on Nov 6th
I'm getting them used and these are a square set. I was actually contemplating to, maybe, down the road get a pair of 10's for the rear in the same BBS style. But for now, I think I'll try the square setup with spacers in the rear and see how it works/looks
err... actually, no hands
Yeah, especially wheels - its like the one upgrade that I waited on for the LOOOOONGEST time... and now I have to wait another two weeks 
Still though, I'm already all excited to imagine what the car will look like after I throw them on and do the drop
wait what? oh, that's like a whole 'nother thread for later - still haven't found the Bilsteins...
