That's because you went and bought BMW aftermarket rims which are specially designed to match the aesthetic of all the cars they sell. There's a significant premium associated with market research and design teams. Tire Rack isn't going to give you that kind of "panache-spec."

In all seriousness, though, they do look great. Definitely a nice distraction from a salt covered vehicle, something I'm not looking forward to this winter.

Just curious, though--I found these wheels on Tire Rack but without BMW labels. Are these the ones you've fitted? If so, I bite my tongue. How did you get the BMW hub center?
