JET's 335Xi

Yeah, 20psi is pretty awesome. I can't believe the personality of the car has changed so drastically for only $1300! I'll be having some runs against a B8 S4 with over $5k in to it in performance mods (APR stage 2.5) soon. We were damn close when I was on my pump gas tune at 14psi, but they were short runs. Found out he just started at my work and we are going to go play in the near future.

That the one you asked about on FB?

That is cool.

So I bought some snow tires from Top Shelf Tires in Ramsey and had them put them on. NEVER go there. The douche bags cracked my one wheel trying to get the run flats off and wouldn't do anything. I disputed the charges on my Visa and the guy flat out lied on his response. That didn't end up mattering though as Visa wouldn't do anything because the actual product I bought wasn't what was damaged. I was pretty pissed. They put a huge gouge in the one wheel too. I have new wheels on the way and had to get that one welded to work for now.

Anyway, pretty pumped for the new wheels to show up!

Wow, that sucks. After some bad experiences, the only tire places I'll use anymore are TireRack approved installers or dealerships; at least that way you know they're insured and have good equipment.

Yeah, my parents owned a small business and I like to give them my business if possible. They also had the tires in stock, but it really bit me in the ass this time.

Man that sucks, I know run flats can be hard (I have mounted a few sets myself) but to gouge and crack a wheel is impressive... then not to take care of you after doing it is even more impressive.

Always take before and after photos goes miles in small claims court. ;)

^is it worth the time and laywer fees to get a few hundred bucks?
Most likely, he would have to take vacation/PTO just to go to court and fight it out.

Not worth it IMO unless the car fell off a lift and had more damage.

I dunno, BMW wheels can be pretty expensive.. a few hundred might be a understatement.

Supporting small/local is great, and I think most of us try to support them when we can, but do your due diligence to make sure they are legit operations with insurance coverage, member of the BBB in good standing, Chamber of Commerce...something that points they're in business for the right reasons.
