Dude, you are like a dog with a bone...geez.

The new FI wheels in the E9x fitment retail for $2,100-$2,300 each. They will not be available in the U.S. market, so the wheels will have to be special ordered directly from Germany. (through a U.S. dealer with the right connections)

Under 6k is a pipe dream.

I only say this, because you still seem to be holding out some irrational hope this is even remotely possible. (when it's not)

You cannot 'estimate' the cost in US dollars.

Since you live here in the United States, you have think of these wheels more like illegal contraband that is not supposed to be sold here. (at all)

Then and only then, can you appreciate how expensive it will be to work around those road blocks to acquire these wheels. (at a higher price)

Or you could simply risk sending your money directly to some European based company that you don't know...and hope they don't scam you out of your hard earned cash. It's clear that you really want these wheels...just don't get TOO anxious and make huge boneheaded mistake.

I'm saying this from experience and knowledge of exactly what this entails, and how this all works behind the scenes.
