    Default FedEx lost my Wheels and tires

    So I'm many $$$$ into this 535i project. Wheels,suspension,interior etc. Well everything I've ordered from the various sources has been delivered. That is until FedEx showed up at my doorstep and delivered me 3 yes 3 F***ing wheels. The 4th has vanished. And of course those highly paid customer service reps told me I would be the first to know if it's found. So I'm not going to wait. My question is 18" w/staggered fit tires are 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. This was the recomended size so any feedback as always would be great. If those Mensa's at FedEx find the 4th wheel/tire I will be selling the set.

    bought from a private party, no return, no refund, and yeah, we have a tracking number, but it hasn't done us any good


    Anyway, here is the set I am considering buying from Tire Rack

    No. Those are style 42's from the e39.


    I believe the ASA's are made by BBS. They are quite popular for 3 series guys.

    I love style 42s. They are my favorite. Here is the pic for the all the wheels website. And they look so much better with those tires you have.

    I would wait a little while before going the other route. BMW wheels are lighter and strong than other brands. I have had things be lost in shipping and show up 3-4 weeks later.

    (I lose my wallet about one a year and it always shows back up with everything in it. You just have to have faith. I will send you some magic California pixie dust that will solve the problem )
