Breyton wheels versus alignment

Some info which could be interesting for some of you.
If your wheels should be aligned for some reason and your BMW-dealer will do the job there could be a problem. At least here in Belgium it is, because the equipment they place on the wheels for the alignment is simply and solely made for OEM BMW wheels witch have special holes between the boltholes to bring that equipment into position.
That means when you present yourself with "certain" third party wheels, you will be in trouble if your dealer is not willing to lend some of his own wheels to do the job. So far my experience ...

Thanks for sharing this Pol !!!
My BMW garage won't even install other suspension, exhaust, or whatever ...
I had a pimped ford some years ago, and there the Ford garage installed a roof spoiler, other suspension, etc without issues... Apparently bmw is very cautious on aftermarket stuff...

For this year I'm gonna keep my 18" OEM wheels... I just can't decide on which to replace them with ...
I'm gonna install the eibach pro kit and some spacers to start out with... the 18" OEMs are not too bad actually, I saw an exact copy of my LeMans blue coupe this morning on the highway (german plates) and in fact, the car looks hot enough for now .

But as I'm planning on some new shoes next year .... thx for the advice!!
