I just spotted a fellow 530i lux black this afternoon at about 4.15pm in CBD. If you see this, I am the white 5 beside u!
G30 owners please fall in!

Yes, our rims are now PCD 112 X 5 similar to Audi & VW but centre hub slightly differ. Best to look for Mercedes. Our centre hub is now 66.6mm, very close to Merc's 66.56mm.

I think we probably belong to this group. If we do meet on the road. Coz there are not many G30 yet.

0.04mm is very very close, the rim's "hole" would be that much smaller than the hub. Anyone tried fitting it on?
Attached images for center bore and PCD.

Yes bro. I've fitted hub centric spacers on mine. The 0.04mm is negligible and fits snugly after using sand paper to rub the inner paint of the spacer. Didn't take any pics at that time. I'll see if I can ask my local tyre shop to remove the wheel to take some pics tomorrow.
However, don't use Merc's bolts. Our wheels use M14 x 1.25 bolts.

How many mm spacers you fitted onto your G30? Assume its for your deep dish or concave wheels? Hopefully no need to roll fenders...
How about some pics to share of your wheels?
Any drama relocating TPMS? Nice nice nice nice in advance!!!

I'm still using my ori 664M 19" wheels. Can only place order for the 668M after July. The ori wheels seem abit deep inside so I just added a 20mm to the rears and 15mm to the fronts. No rolling of fenders needed as the tyres just fit right under the fenders barely touching under heavy compression.
Don't know if can see the difference but here are the pics.
This was before I installed the spacers.

The difference is obvious when these 2 pictures are compared side by side.

The G30 tpms set up is attached. It's the RDCi system manufactured by Schrader.

Bro, any idea if the sensors can be transferred over to a new set of rims? I hope it won't be a hassle when my new rims arrive.

I don't know but it looks transferable. Otherwise every time we change tires need to buy sensors! The documentation goes on to describe how new tires are to be synchronized with the sensors so I assume they are transferable.

True, but we won't really know until one of us try it out.

Thanks for that,there are 2 frequecies, 433 and 315Mhz. I am guessing that we are using 433Mhz as i saw it being sold on 1 US and 1 Uk site but cannot confirm. I believe 315 should be for Europe and 433 for the rest of the world?Also saw valve stems sold can be in black or silver,which can match the colour of the rim. If i recall correctly, i got a quote in Singapore for 30 for the valve stem part and 120 for the sensor part. The staff on the phone recomended using back the old TPMS. Some links pasted below for info

I too am considering on the 668M wheel! the quote i received was 1400 per piece for the front and 1500 for the rear but no M sticker and BMW cap,no TPMS included.Lead time is 3months as coming in by seaI'm still using my ori 664M 19" wheels. Can only place order for the 668M after July. The ori wheels seem abit deep inside so I just added a 20mm to the rears and 15mm to the fronts. No rolling of fenders needed as the tyres just fit right under the fenders barely touching under heavy compression.

Can share your quote?
Also on the topic of spacers,you have added spacers of 20mm.Does this mean our offset for the new pair of rims we can choose rims with offset of 44-20=24(44 being our original and 20 being the compensation or spacer)?Assuming the width of the rim remains the same at 9J?
Also like the look of your rims being pushed out with the spacers added

They didn't have the price yet when I asked in April. Was told will only be available from July onwards. Will get a quote and update you guys soon.
I suppose you are right about the offset. 44-20=24 for the rears and 30-15=15 for the fronts. I like the wheels flush with the body, just enough for the tyres to go inside the fenders when suspension compressed.

Just checking. Your rims are 19''. Looks like a 20''. Do you have a side view of the car so that i can see clearer.

Yes, they are 19". Pushing the wheels out really makes a difference.
This the pic before the spacers. Haven't taken any side pic after.

I didn't have a choice as it only comes with these 19" in Brunei. There is also no option for me to get a 540i even till now.
Mine is the highest spec available here. That's why I'm waiting for the 668M in 20" to be available.
