Need to purchase 18inch wheels!

So when I purchased my e90 I bought a extended warranty as well. they never came out and inspected the car before they gave me coverage. Recently I had to have the car fixed by a BMW dealer and the extended warranty company wanted to come and inspect the car. Now they are telling me that unless I change the wheels that are on my car which are 19inch black and red m6 replicas that they will not cover the suspension and or drivetrain. I don't want to sell the rims that are on there because once the warranty runs out I will modd the hell out of the car but I do need to buy 18inch wheels. I know there are 18inch m6 replicas like mine can any1 help? or suggest other wheels that will look good on my car??

Ask for a full refund since they gave you the warranty without even looking at the car, then get a new warranty company?
The car looks awesome as it is. I would hate to part out those wheels.

this doesnt make any sense.
for one..... you can get a 335 with OEM 19" as an option....so its not the size, its that they are aftermarket probably.
they should be able to do that in the first place as long as the tire sizes are in spec ect.
and your wanting to get 18" versions isnt really the fix as the will know they are aftermarket if thats the issue with them.

Have you looked at the contract? Does it say anything about the rims / tires specifically? You have a contract - read it and then go from there...

ok after all that bullshit we called them and told that them bmw sells the e92 with 19 wheels. when they did the inspection they took pics of everything and the man at the warranty company we were talking to said he would look up our file. long story short they realized they fucked up and wrong the wheel size wrong and they wheels and tires i had on already better fit the car than they ones they wanted me to out on so they were wrong. i bought new tires because i needed new tires, so i got the same 19's. appreciate all the helps guys.
