VERY nice rims, would love to see them fitted. Can I ask what an upgrade like this costs?

Who is this 'she' you refer to, are you having your other half painted?

got to say i ran these rims for a week before i lost the x5 to the body shop and the tyres performed great in dry and wet but also absolutely silent in terms of road noise, seem like a good all round budget tyres so i will not be changing them till they are worn out, also i must point out that i typically drive pretty keenly shall we say so they have had a good test :D
