Subject: If you go to tirerack.com, you can compare specs between tires, including noise. Author: bcweir as bcweir750 : member since January, 2006 : 4822 posts Posted on: 2008-09-03 11:47:22

As for where to get the wheels, Wheelcollision.com is but one of many places to get them.

Just my opinion, but I think if you're going to go through the expense of getting M-Pars, get the real thing. BMW engineers wheels like nobody else in the business. Genuine BMW wheels are going to be stronger and lighter than replicas, IMHO. Most copycat makers build the wheels out of cheaper, but heavier steel or other alloys. You can use the copycat wheels, but you won't get the advantages of BMW's original design. Most importantly, unsprung weight is unsprung weight. Copycat wheels WILL be heavier.
