After-market tire and rim warranty?
Does anyone recommend an after-market tire and rim warranty for their C32 or C55? My brother-in-law got one for his M3 for about $400 and covers upto $2000 of tire and or rim damage. If this is recommended, does anyone have any reputable places to get one?

I have never heard of an aftermarket tire/rim warranty, however depending on where you live (City=potholes), How expensive your rims are and how big your sidewall is this would probably make good sense. Do you know the specifics on the warranty (length of time, etc.).
I would ask your brother where he got his...seems like a good idea.
Good Luck

i think you can tell your insurance company that you have rims, etc that you wanted to put under the insurance. Of course it will cost you more money but its under insurance. I had some friends do that when they changed to bigger rims.

not worth it ...i got it along with mine from dealership and they only cover you if the rim is so badly damaged that it can't hold air. then if thats the case you have to file a claim like thing with them and find their local office so you can go drop off the rim/tire for them to process it.
