UK wheel specialist?
Can anyone recommend a reputable UK supplier of wheels for the F10?
Tried AC Schnitzer, but none of their styles appeal to me. |

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw...ies_f10_alloys IMO, price is MSRP therefore, not much of a bargain. At least you know what these wheels are selling for. |

Great service from above link. Have bought a couple of sets from them, only thing to complain about is long delivery time in some cases. But then again, you live closer to them then I do

Many thanks for the replies; they have exactly what I want - the 20" 281 style at £1558 a set of four.
I've asked my dealer to quote; I get 15% discount, so I'll see who's cheapest. |

Can be good to check both ways but I doubt that your dealership are cheaper, could be wrong though but based on my own dealership, wheels are quite expensive even though I also get 15% discount

Please note the alloywheel website changes the price frequently, I think they update once every couple of weeks to reflect the exchange rate.
For instance, the 20" 356 style was selling at 1660 British Pounds a week or so ago ... now, 1900 British Pounds. In the US, the same set sells for $2300 US Part Number: 36116792598 - Front GLOSS-TURNED LIGHT A $684.82 $547.86 (discounted) Part Number: 36116792599 - Rear GLOSS-TURNED LIGHT A $692.88 $554.30 (discounted) |

Yeah, but buying from the US is more difficult than from a EU-country + it's often more expensive because of the TAX-free between EU-countries
If I for example buy a set of wheels for $2000 from the US, I will have to pay 25-30% more with taxes + pay tax on the shipment too. So let's say $2000+$500 in shipping=$2500*1,25= $3125 or (x1,30=$3250). It should be around 1950-2000 GBP

Hey Nightcreature,
how can you buy tax-free between EU countries? as an end consumer you would have to pay taxes somewhere, or are you buying it over your compayn with a tax number? cheers
