Fitment is dead on, might as well be OEM. My trunk is dual sided CF, so the whole thing is made out of CF, very light, the trunk flies open now its kinda scary. Cost was $1300+ uninstalled, unpainted.

What are these things leasing for? Obviously there are a lot of factors, but I am just looking for a ballpark. My dad is looking for a new car to replace his 545i.

^ It varies each month. www.bimmerfest.com is good about updating their lease rates. Check out the dealer section, its a sticky.

Oh and if anyone was wondering, a stock C6 vette cant pull away from chipped 335i

ocool deal thanks for posting them up. Once I get some extra money to put into the car ill be happy! OH i got a roofing nail in my back tire from god knows where, but do you think that bmw will cover the cost of fixing it? (if it can be pluged) I dont think it can becuase it's on the inside tread close to the sidwall.

Most places wont patch a runflat tire. You can try though.

If you plan to keep them then get the tire warranty from the dealer. Its actually worth it for how many times those runflats get bubbles in them. They not cheap!

what rear diffuser/exhaust surround is that you guys are running? it looks really nice with the quad exhaust. the trunk looks perfect on there as well. your new set of wheels scream BMW racing, glad you went with those.

Thanks, but my wheels look small compared to other 19s there. No biggie as i still like them the best out of the ones i had.

The exhaust and diffuser is by Bastuck. Can get it at www.wheelsto.com

No idea on cost of that. Would have to ask the dealer.

I think some tire shops will offer a warranty too on your stock tires.
