is still a lot of money for anyone ... I think if they came back and said something like $2k then it would make sense ... they would basically be taking my brand new 35d 18's off (when car arrives in around 3 weeks) and swapping over 19's .... so I would have thought that the price difference between the two sets would be more like $2k - rather than $5,530 fitted ....I would like the 19's but might just save the $$ and reinvest in future X5 upgrade fund circa 2012 / 13 .. and I;m sorta use to the 18's as they are still an ok lookingf wheel/tire combo ... with option to put chains on if I want to take kids skiing
