I was ready to rock and roll with the Mich Diamaris, then I looked at Vredestein's, and then that opened up Pandoras Box and I really started to do research......The Toyo's are actually discontinued, but there is plenty of stock out there should I need a new tire......worst case scenario I go to the Proxes ST II's down the road......I have found that choosing tires was not as easy as I thought and for ..bang for the buck....I like the deal that I got balanced and installed.... who knows..maybe I am completely out of my tree and I will go to the Michelins in a year or another brand for that matter...but for now....for my 215 reps......this is the path I will travel...

Thanks to everyone for their input...ya'll know who you are.....

Toyo's get noisy with age.....search the forum. Don't tell later...We did not warn you.

Pics have already been posted in the previous threads......The next pics will be when they are on the X.

So..mine arrived today and I immediately opened up all the boxes to check them out....They were very well packed and secure.....no damage or scuffs etc etc.....but just as mentioned in some previous threads each of the four wheels has paint defect.....small little micro micro micro bubbles.....the type of thing that only I/we would notice.....but the paint job over all looks great. Man they shine with a little more silver touch than previous oem BMW wheels.. (prob cause they are brand new)...

Bottom line......for 495......they are more than damn good!! I highly
recommend Eurotech and their wheels! Now to find some rubber for these bad boys!
