Am looking to buy a set and was wandering what the best price out there was. So far I found them for $250 a piece.

Any suggestions?

 

That's only $10 per pound. Smoking deal!

 

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but thats what i got mine for.

i assume this is W/O tires.

 

I know, I know, They are heavy.
But this are going to be be my "Mack'n" wheels.
I originally had R90s. Those are heavy as well.

Traded those for the set I have now.
BBS RGF 16" that only weigh 12.75lbs.
Great freaking wheels. So am keeping them for track.

Now I want to Mac down the Blvd, rolling on DUBs
So it was between the JCWs105 or the O.Z.s Ultraleggera.
Both gorgeous wheels in black finish.
I know there is almost a 10 lbs difference between the 2, but the best price I found on the OZs is $335 vs the JCWs $250.

 

Hey Davo,
Kinda had the same feeling about the were to start the thread. But I figured who would know better than the members doing the research while looking to buy or sell wheels.

Yes ofcourse, no tires.
I want to put some BFG gforce 215 35 18s on them.

How do you like yours?

 

I just got my set from RoadShow BMW in TN. Set of wheels, black lugs, wheel locks, steering stops, sensors and shipping for a little over $1200. Ask for Ken Bird, and tell him I sent ya.

 

i went through the same, Ken bird, and got mine for $1105 shipped to FL.

 

Im with you, i could care less about the weight, these are for looks...

They come in this week!
im kinda excited.

 

Greg, do you have his contact info?

 

Congrats on the new Pimpin wheels.
Did you attend MTTS 08?

 

nope, whats MTTS?
i just got my R56 at the end of may, and was out of town for a bit...

 

BTW: heres ken's email.

kbird@roadshowbmw.com

 

i saw that Morristown had them for $275 per wheel, heres what they emailed me..."Yes the wheels are available they are $275.20 each. Item number 36 11 6 778 428"

So in an email to Roadshow offered $250. they said they could do that. See what you can do... i believe its possible to reuse your TPMS and i've heard depending on your tire size you dont need the steering angle stops... again see what kinda a deal you can get.

 

You can also reach him at 1-800-463-3339. Davo, maybe the shipping was cheaper? Or did you leave something like sensors or such out?

 

Sweet thanks for the heads up. Ill give him a call and see what deal I get

Question: what is TPMS? and what are these angle stops? Are the wheels not hubcentric(sp)?


NTW: MTTS 08 is MINI takes the states. It just happened down here in Miami. Great turnout. More than 300 owners showed up.

 

Q-Ban, scratch that previous number - that's for FedEx.

Ken's number is 888-876-8792, then option #4 for parts.

TPMS is for Tire pressure Monitoring System that is mandatory for ALL vehicle built in '08 and later. It is a sensor located inside the wheel that detects a loss in tire pressure. You can use the old ones from your original wheels, but I wanted to keep my factory wheel/tire set intact, so I ordered a new set from Ken for the new wheels.

 

...and the angle stops? are those the hub rings?

 

No, they limit the steering angle because of the width of the new wheels. However, I have read from a few on here that they did not install them and don't have any issues with rubbing. i'll run mine without them first, and then if I have rubbing at full lock I'll install them.

The rings I think you are referring to are not needed with factory wheels like the JCW's.

 

Greg U The Bomb!

 

yep, i passed on the TPMS so thats probably the difference in price. and depending on your location, shipping charges will vary. i was only quoted 80 for shipping.

im gonna go without the steering angle stops and add spacers to push them more flush with the fender. i think the offset on these wheels are et50. i have both 5mm and 15mm spacers so i'll see which one looks/fits best.

BTW in lowered in H&R's.

 

I have H&R springs also, so I will love to see pics of the results.

 

i'll post pics when they get mounted. im waiting....

 

No lowering for me. I went the opposite route to fill my wheel wells by going with a 225/40-18. Hopefully I won't have any rubbing as there is another person on this board running a 205/50-17 tire. Both his and mine are 25.1" in diameter and he reported no rubbing. Ideally I won't have any gap and should get a little nicer ride due to the extra sidewall. Oh, I'm going with non-runflats since I have a spare (non-S Clubman).

 

i went with the yoko s.drives. 205/40/18 an i hope they are decent. i dont drive much so im not too000 worried about it.

 

Lucky dog!
