Bigger shoes

I'm not actually sure of the maker - don't have the jar in front of me. The guy who sold me my rims threw it in. It's actually called "Wheel Wax", and comes in a black jar. Google it and you will see what I'm talking about. Once you have the wax on there, you just hose off your rims and the brake dust comes right off. Sweet!

This guy sells it in Canada. He works out of Thornhill.

$1800 is a bit steep though considering I searched a B/S/T and found some guy in Ottawa who is selling is 162's with Kumho rubber for $1500.

I called that guy in Ottawa, saw his ad on kijiji but his are Replicas and not OEM since they are not staggered. OEM are 8.5" in the back and 8" in the front if I am not mistaken. I was going to buy them for but finally decided to get a set of OEMs from Cali from Longtran. Paid 1420US 1550CDN and Fedex shipped them in 5 days NO TAXES OR DUTIES on FULL declared value.

To the OP: Very nice wheels. I think they are 5 series replicas since I was at the dealer today dropping off my car and they had a set of these wheels for sale. If anyone is interested I can pm you the dealer. I think they were asking like 1100 for the wheels only.

Is that 1100 for OEM 5series wheels? And would they even fit an E90?

Yes they are OEM 5 series wheels since they are sold at a BMW dealership but not sure about fitment.

How did you end up getting no taxes or duties??!! Seriously thats the only thing stopping me from ordering from the states. THey have an abundant supply of 162s on sale...but I'll be damned if I pay to pay the outrageous duties when it comes to Canada. Shipping charges I can deal with.
