135i wheels on a 128

pinksnyper · 04-14-2008, 05:31 PM

I really like the 18" 135 stock wheels better than the regular and sport package wheels for the 128. Question is - could you ask the dealer for the upgrade, or else would you think there willl be people selling theirs on ebay ?

Esmallstii · 04-14-2008, 06:06 PM

Wait for Ebay and save some $$$
Im sure they will start popping up over the summer as more people take delivery of their 1's and start swapping out rims.
OR,...Keep your eyes out on this forum as well,..next time someone posts pics of their 1er w/ custom rims,..drop em a pm and see if they want to part with their OEM wheels.

are there any pictures of a 128 wtih 135 rims?
PS request

But if you got the 135i wheels, wouldn't you have to get new tires? That would jack up the price also.

I will be selling mine in a couple months as soon as the morr alloys gb is sorted out. Pm me an offer as I may be going with something from tire rack sooner...

Wow thanks for the responses guys...unforunately I failled to mention im about 2 months from getting my car..doh! Good to know people are indeed interested in selling their stockers though! I'll def have to check back when my time comes...

Don't go ebay until you check the forum first. I assure you in a couple month people may be interested in selling their stock 135i wheels, I for one. Save everyone couple bucks by eliminating the middle man.

BMW Dreamer · 04-15-2008, 05:34 AM

Everybody has diff tastes. I LOVE the 135i's OEM 264's. GO FOR IT. Finally a great car with awesome wheels from the factory.

When I bought my 07 Acura TL-S I hated the grey wheels. Many loved them, and many hated them. Its a matter of taste.

But I say GET THE 264's, they KICK ASS !!!

Dave · 04-15-2008, 12:07 PM

fyi guys
the bmw stock 135i wheels are pretty expensive when you buy from dealer....just got an email back from my dealer :

"Set of 4 wheels, no rubber $2054.40+ tax"

this is for the oem 264's....

What a rip-off. Here some pricing I got from John Bailey at Leith BMW for 261M BMW Performance Wheels . He is really great to deal with. Please tell him Ulrich in Houston sent you - I owe him a favor.

Price is as follows:
Performance: 347.65 front 358.90 rear still none in the US still on Parts
Freeze
261: 399.50 front 429.25 rear there are some in Germany. I could get them in as they are not on parts freeze like the performance wheels.

I respectfully disagree. I very much prefer the 264's.

randomquickness · 04-15-2008, 01:38 PM

I'm not posting mine FS yet but I'll likely let them go shortly after I pick up my car. I'd likely let them go as is (including TPMS and OE tires)

I agree, plus the time you will spend wiping brake dust off the Canadian wheels vs. the 264s, well, you'll never get that back
