M6 Rep from Ebay + tires from Tirerack?

PNF · 11-16-2008, 01:52 AM

I have always wondered why these Rep on ebay are so much cheaper than the ones being sold here?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-M6...Q5fAccessories

these are 35 mm offset, which is perfect fit for E92 with stock suspention/springs.. correct?

Usually $699 for a set of 4 18" + tires, or $899 for 19"..

So, if these rims are good.... I can just order the TPMS and tire from tirerack?

For 18's, that pricing is not that spectacular. We have 18" non staggered for $640 for the set of 4 and 19" staggered for $100 less than the ebay pricing on there. We can also package them together with tires for you so you do not have to deal with mounting/balancing.

**********s prices are better too. If you buy them from JLEVIS or **********s, at least you know they'll be there if you have problems with them. And like Nick said, having the TPMS installed and all mounted and balanced will save you a lot of time, trouble, and money as well.

ya just get it from the vendors on this forum... price will be better after shipping for sure

really??

I think I briefly checked their prices and although I did not compare closely, but I thought ebay is a bit cheaper... but then again, if I buy from ebay, I do have to go through the trouble of getting tires mounted/TPMS installed etc locally here.

so, after everything is said and done, I guess its about the same when I figure in the cost to mount/install/gas/time etc...

I am not exactly sure what is the difference between staggered and non-staggered, other than the rear wheel would look wider? (please correct me if I am wrong).

You can run either setup but that is exactly the difference, with the staggered the rear wheel is wider and you can run a wider tire. I recommend going staggered to fill out the rear wheel well and provide a bit more traction for the rear wheels.

So, if I am to run non-staggered but with spacers, I will get the look (rear wheel), but will not get the traction. right?

thanks.
