I'm looking for a set of 20" 87's. The dealer price is as follows:

9.5x20 Star spoke 87 = $1,087.50 Canadian per front wheel
10.5x20 Star spoke 87 = $1,152.50 Canadian per rear wheel

That's $4480 before taxes. or $5062.40 after tax (13%)


The prices on the EuroTech site are unbelieveable!!! US$595 for a set of 4, US$780 shipped for the CHROME ones. I hope these are not "too good to be true". At 1/5th the price of OEMs I think I can live with a little imperfections.

Who here has chrome rims? How do they hold up against brake dust? I'm worried they will tarnish.

Thanks guys!!

I just picked up a set of 168's from them two weeks ago. And by "pick up" I mean I drove to their warehouse, met up with one of the owners, and gave him $500 and drove away with the goodies. They each weigh 4lbs heavier than my chromed 19" 132's. Considering they are 20's with brand new tires, I'd say this is fair. They come in at a whopping 74 lbs each with Toyo tires. They are boxed quite nicely with a plastic lip guard, and some average padding. I would not trust UPS to deliver them scratch free so I drove from LA to San Diego and made a stop at Coronado island with my GF on the way back. Shipping would have been $90. I spent $65 in gas and put a couple hundred mi on the odo instead. No complaints about fit and finish. I would not say that they are "perfect". There were some tiny (like the head of a pin) raised dots on two of the wheels. You'd need a pair of reading glasses or a magnifying glass to see them, or run your hand across it to feel the little bump. For $500, it's a steal. They did not come with BMW centercaps. They got sued by BMW and as part of the settlement, they are not selling the BMW caps with the wheels. The owner confirmed this with me. But the good news is that you can use your stock BMW centercaps with them. Their warehouse is alarmingly large. I mean boxes and boxes of replica wheels stacked floor to ceiling, 20' ft high as far as the eye can see. A myriad of styles can be chosen from various makes and models. Get em while you can. For $500, you can't lose. If they get sued by MBZ, Porsche, and whoever else they are knocking off, they could conceivably disappear. Then again, they could come back under a different name. Who knows. Get em.

CC- Thanks for all of that information. That is definitely a good inside scoop on the whole Eurotech Mystery! I unfortunately did not have the luxury to drive to San Diego....They will arrive at my office via UPS tomorrow! 2 per box they tell me! Quite a few of us here have bought these and had them delivered UPS.....so I hope I luck out and they are not shot to shit! LOL! MAn..this deal is so good...I kid you not I was very close to picking up 2 sets of the 215's....Well..again Thank you for all the info and post some pics of the new 168's!!

you can try costco too in your area for your tires, they're a lot cheaper than tirerack because you dont have to pay for the shipping, free installation etc. i've purchased my michelin 20"s from them. :thumbup:

RR, FYI I had a few scuffs on the wheel lips, but nothing major. The wheels were packed as described by CC.

you can try costco too in your area for your tires, they're a lot cheaper than tirerack because you dont have to pay for shipping & handling, free mounting & balancing, free Nitrogen Inflation, free rubber valve stem. Environmental Tire Disposal, and the Costco Road Hazard Warranty is included in their price. i've purchased my michelin 20"s from them.

francx5,

what a great idea and I have a Costco two minutes from me....I will check it out!! Great idea!

For a quick and easy price quote on tires, check td4l.com and http://www.tires-easy.com. Be aware that there are advantages to buying from a local tire shop, even if it's slightly more expensive. If they ship you a tire that has a defect, or perhaps a leak that can not be detected until it is mounted on the wheel, then you have to deal with shipping hassles, and you are eating the mounting/balancing cost. If it's a tire shop, they just slap a new tire on on the spot. So there is some inherent risk with purchasing online. It happened to me once.

Another vote for Costso! Purchased 3 sets of tires (all Michelin) from them for 3 different vehicles.

Tip #1: Go Early! They can special order almost any Michelin tire - you are not limited to what they have in the store. You have to pre-pay though... I had to wait a week for the Pilot Sports (summer tire) for the mustang. They also have those wheel weights that stick to the inside of the rim - rather than clip to the lip.

Tip #2: DID I mention Go Early!? Once you ge the call your tires have arrived its nice to be the first in line - at our local store I line up 1 hr before opening - you don't want to wait behind 3 minvans getting oil changes and tire rotations.

Tip #3: You can't beat LIFETIME FREE balancing, rotation, repair but you need to remember to GO EARLY!
