yeah sure - these 19" cost only 1600 eur, whereas a set with the 128s cost over 2500 eur

but of course, you v8 drivers can afford such expensive wheels. us diesel drivers have to save on cheaper non-oem wheels or 18" oems

yeah yeah, you poor poor diesel drivers with your cheap rims

I wish I'd owned some of the rims you've had on your cars, like those BMW Performance rims on your E90, they were awesome... and would look great on the E60 as it happens!

I did not realise those Schmiedmann 19s are 1000 Euro less than OEMs -- that's a different discussion all together. I think they look great and also did not realise Schmiedmann was offering so many wheel packages now a days.

Good luck with the sale of 17" winter rims!

These are actually "cheap" rondell wheels - the wheels cost about 850 eur + 800 eur for the tires.. so for a 1000 eur less than the 128s or the 166s and with such an aggressive offset, I would go for them (specially for winter) but then again they are not oem...
