Wow, I did not think I would get so many reps.
The wheels are from a 2010 GLK350 factory takeoffs driven only 50 miles.
Purchased from a private seller for the rims alone - $1000, I did not need the factory tires which obviously were WAY too large. The tires were another $800 installed and balanced.
I went with these factory rims since they are the best looking stock 20" rare rim available and not a cheap aftermarket metal rim that would bend.
I have had two people in the back with zero rubbing even over large bumps, and nothing rubbing in the front turned hard left or right.
There is only a 5 pound difference per rim/tire from stock 18" to the 20".
I previously had 20" big lip on my previous 335i. I really needed a change and have no regrets on this decision, to each his own.
Oh ya, my wife is simply a wonderful person.

I agree with you they look great and that was a deal and they fit!

Only thing is that my car is one year newer than yours.
I did have to get longer bolts though, the stock ones were about 1/2 inch too short.
You just saved my evening
