I just spoke with BavAuto and they recommend going down to 14" wheels... to make sure the speedo isn't off. Did you ever have any trouble with your 15s and the speedo-- or rubbing?

Brad,
If you want to spend alot less, you can buy my 15" rims for $400, And I'll throw in the brand new Avon tires that are mounted on them!
They are '92 525i rims.
Or you could do what I did. I just bought a set of 17" Motorsport replica wheels from DiscountTire.com for $680.

I just got an '87 535 and among other things, it needs tires. It has the TRXs which cost around $180 each to replace. Some of you have recommended getting some used rims. Does anyone know where I could get a set of used 16"? I just can't see paying that much for tires, knowing I'll have to do it again in 50k miles.

thanks,
--Brad, mechanically clueless in DC
