sorry to read about your misfortune- but am glad to read that your X is back on the road. Hope they find the MOFOs.
Good luck with it.
As for body shops...i'm up here in Milford, and between Milford and Stratford are a bunch of really good garages.
I'll do some leg work and PM them to ya if you still need the info.

Thanks Crazymex, The insurance ended up paying for it all so I am getting it done at the dealership, I went with OEM wheels and Bridgestone Dueller Sport tires since it's sitting at the dealership I decided to get the aux hooked up as well :-)
BTW I got a loaner 328xi not bad drives pretty good but lacks the grunt and in interior...well what can i say i dont really like it.

Hey JBNY, i don't know if you already bought new set of wheels. My suggestion is to look around in Craigslist or something. I found the same size of your wheels (staggered) for my X5 in C.L. for $800 (Los Angeles, CA). That's just an example. I got them powder coated, black ($200). Then i got new tires, same size as your tires, TOYO Proxess, stggered of course, for $800. So, that's total of $1,800 (Tax free!)... and it's not even half of what the dealer is asking for! Try not to buy from dealer.

Hi BlackMamba - I bought OEM wheels from Dealership since Insurance payed all of it, the tires I bough from Tirerack since dealer's prices was pretty steep and i did not want the OEM tires, I was thinking about power coating it Black since i think they look awesome that way but somehow i did'nt (I hope i dont regret it), but yeah your suggestion is great and i wound do it if I had to pay out of pocket it's just that since the adjuster came to the dealership and payed for it I ended up getting it done there.

JBNY, that's great that insurance got you covered! You can always get it powder coated anytime. it's just a hassle removing the tires off the rims, dropping the wheels off at the PC shop, wait a week, etc. Some BMW dealers have black wheels in stock, too. Well, good luck to you, my friend! Put them locks from now on!
