Visit your local dealer, they should replace the wheel FOC. It's hit and miss when you're out of warranty but may save you £500 on a new wheel.
Then once the tyres are worn you can sell the wheels as a set of 4 to help fund the new set. |

Defo agree on oem BBS's not being able to cope with runflats though. apparently if dealer replaces for free then the new wheel is the made from a stronger compound which better withstands the runflats. Also I have heard the likes of pirreli runflats are slighter easier on OEM wheels too. |

I ran a set of genuine BBS CH's on my old 330d for 4 years despite being 19's and the crap roads around here they stood up really well no cracks and not deformed in anyway. I would 100% recommend these wheels. And they look nice too.
I'd go or another set 100% or a set of CHR's lovely wheel but another bit of me fancies. Set of VMR 710's.... |

Adv wheels are a load of pretty looking dog w#ank. Do a search and read the huge thread of forged crap. Stick with what u know. Bbs and hre and the like of known and proven brands for looks and strength. Not these new kerbside status brands. The sooner they go under the better.

I have a beautiful set of SSR from the states. For a 3 piece forged rim, they are pretty affordable. Have a look at their site.
Your best bet is waiting for a second hand 3 piece rim at a discounted rate rather than paying £3500-5000 on wheels. You could pick a quality set up for around £1500-2000 |
