The car only has 45,000 original miles. I am looking for aftermarket wheels and tires for my car. Please advice me. Thanks.

Just my opinion, so take it for what its worth: with $45K original miles, I would leave it the way it left the factory. I bought a stock (Dinan chip) 35K original mile car last year and I definitely appreciate the history that the car represents. There aren't too many cars in that kind of condition around anymore and even stock, it is easily outperforms most driver's abilities. In fact, the guy I bought it from, who was a master M-mechanic, made me swear to leave the car "as is" because of his love of the car's design after meticulously servicing it for years. I thought about e34 Throwing Stars, which I like from a scientific perspective, but decided to stick with the OEM wheels, which give the car a clean look and drive extremely well, provided you aren't primarily driving on the track.
