Well.. called Mille Miglia of Italy and this is what I found out... hopely this info is correct... seeing as I was speaking broken english to an italian lady... Basically as of today there is no available stock of the
Mille Miglia Spider 18"x 8.5" rim for the bmw 5-series... It would take an order of 300 rims for Mille Miglia to produce a run..
So in essence... Unless a order was to be placed for 300 rims.... the only way you're going to be able to get/run these wheels on our SyTy's is if we either get tirerack to purchase a run... or to find another distributor in Europe who already has some in stock... sorry guys.... I'll try tirerack later today...

Well...75 orders of 4, right? Not *quite* as bad as it sounds.

Wrong... more like 150 orders of 2.... 5 series 13mm offset is for the rear only..

Bad news.... just got off the phone with Tirerack... They've discontinued the Spider line of Miglia and are selling off what they have ... Also Tried National Tire Warehouse (won't sell to the states, ..pricks) and tiretrends.com out of canada... Nothing to be found there either.. So basically if you're looking to obtain these rims you're going to have to go through Europe.... Best bet would be either Germany or the UK in my oppinion... Personally I don't think I'd be willing to go after a set now due to the availability factor... especially if you were to need a replacement rim(s) fast...

looks like zr1's come summer...shiat...

No problem... Personally I've always wanted a set since I saw Rob's truck 2 years ago..
Just kind of sad there's no viable option to make it happpen without taxes, tariffs, & insane shipping costs to Alaska ... Both Mike's need to get some credit too as well as biltech equipment... Mike of Cali for reviving the interest... Mike of Jersey for contacting tyresave out of the UK (finding an alternative source).... and Biltech Equipment for the lead in Denmark...

Are they available in the UK?

I possibly have friends that could order them, then ship via big container to my work, or somewhere else. If people are that interested.

I am currently not..but I may be able to help.

Tyresave is currently closed right now so I can't double check their stock... Mike of NJ called originally so I'm not quite sure what is up... Tried dialling their number anyways... think I'm messing up...

Tyresave has there number listed as:
01244 813030

I tried dialling 011 44 01244 813030

for some reason it wouldn't work... not sure if I messed up.. but I dialed right though..
I'll try again later tonight...

Thanks Jeff
