Check with Eurotech Luxury Wheels homebased in San Diego. :thumbup:

When I google them the only thing I see are horror stories. I didn't even see the 214 style rims listed. Have you dealt with them?

Just my opinion- don't get the 214's! They are a pain to clean. Go for the 128's. Gonna sell my set when the tires wear out and I replace everything with 128's. Too bad your in NY. Shipping kinda kills a good price. Plus not quite ready yet (only 13000 on them now. Hoping to get another 5000-10000 miles).

Thanks but only interested in 214s.

I lease and OEM is the way to go. But then again, I ordered my car with these wheels.

Have you considered BMW of Newport or Tischer BMW? They offer 25% off and no sales tax, if you don't live in the state or RI or NJ, respectively. :thumbup:

Does the car need to be re-aligned when switching from the stock 18's to the 214's?

No. A car only needs to have an alignment done when you alter the suspension. A new set of wheels does not warrant a new alignment.

Thats your opinion. I beg to differ, although an allignment in not mandatory it is highly encouraged especially with +2 or+3. I've gone from 17-20 and 18-21 and always took time for an allignment in addition to the wheel balance. Its just a good practice besides its not gonna hurt to do it;).

If you want to spend the money, be my guest. If you go to a good place that uses a Hunter Road Force Balancer, only deals with high end wheels and takes the time to mount and balance your wheels properly, I see no need to spend the money. If you take it to slop shop, then you might want to consider.

As for me, I've never done an alignment on any of my M's or X's in the past, when it comes to wheel changes. And I do a lot of high end wheel changes throughout the life of my cars. However, once I tune the suspension (which always ends up happening :rofl:), I'll have an alignment done. That's a must.

To the OP - Your call... :thumbup:

Thanks guys, where can I order the wider fender arches online?
