I've been visiting Discount Tire for years and have never had problems with them, but wondering if there are better options out there. I want to make sure places take extra special care of my aftermarket wheels. Discount Tire has managed to slightly chip wheels in the past.
HG motorsports and tag are some big name shops down here off top of my head. Discount is good just tell them to be careful and watch them. Also take pictures of wheels before you bring them so you can tell them to pay for it if they do damage the wheel.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip! Wheels arrived today, so I'll do some calling around.

Long time!

My SD peeps...it's been a long time!

I've acquired an E93 M3 (Jerez Black on Black w/Extended Novillo Leather), and I've been out of the game a little bit (plus, since I had my 335d before, this is a whole different animal).

So, I'm going to lean on my brethren for some questions:

1. Angel Eyes - Is Lux still the best bang for the buck, or is there something else work going through? Like DDM's kits?

2. Interior LED Kits - Like the Angel Eyes, I just can't stand the yellow lights. What's the best kit to go with here?

3. Coding - I know Jackson does coding, but he's been a busy fella. Is there anyone else that does, and offers remote coding? In addition to that, I've lost my coding list, and I'm interested in seeing what options are specific to an E93 with iDrive (and ideally, someone who might actually have the map updates, too, since my iDrive is very much out of date).

4. I'll be CF wrapping the interior (I have Brushed Aluminum now), and since Harina isn't anywhere close anymore, I'll have to find someone local for that.

Any other cosmetic mods that don't break the bank right now, and/or performance mods?

Ask questions about the car and I'll tell you about it, but I'm open to realistic options.

I've already ordered Mattle Black kidneys (couldn't bring myself to buy the CF ones, at least not yet).

Thanks in advance for all your help, and I hope to be in SD again soon.

I'm in Seattle, so unless you're up this way, it'll be kinda hard unless I ship you my trim...and that seems counter productive lol. I only posted here cuz I have a lot of friends still in SD, and in the BMW community.

I haven't used either of those but I have used Automotive Connoisseur Group (ACG) with great results. They have one of those touch less tire mounting machines too

Plus side is they have some amazing machines there to drool over when you're getting work done.
