New BMW Owner

Dippy · 04-25-2012, 12:06 PM

Hey guys, been creeping the forum for awhile, finally made the switch over to a bmw. I got a 2009 BMW 328 xi coupe, white with black interior.

Had a few questions that I couldnt find an answer to so I figured i would ask.

I live in Massachusetts and our roads generally suck, so I bought the wheel package through bmw ($50 deductible to replace the tire/rim if its ever damaged for i believe 2 years). Only cost 2k and I figure if I get them replaced twice it would be more than worth it.

They said that if I were to get new wheels for it they would have to be BMW certified to be covered, when I asked if they had a list, they told me to call them and ask. As much as I want to continuously call them with every wheel that catches my eye, I was wondering if someone had a list of approved manufacturers or somewhere I can atleast start looking.

I did see the post in the wheels section regarding the available wheels from BMW, I was wondering if there are others.

Thank you for your help!

all the wheels that are "approved" by BMW are basically anything that is considered stock from BMW and that is sold through a BMW dealer/parts department.
thats it. their are some that are very nice but are usually the ones mounted on M3 and M5 etc.
