My car has the 296 wheels (19inch) so I thought this might bring some peace of mind. Was this a good decision to buy? Right now the tires are in super condition since the car only has 4,500 miles!
Jayda, you made the right choice.

Still keep an eye on the outer diameter on the inner side of the wheel. Going over many lil bumps will lead to hairline cracks on your wheel. At this point the dealer must replace the wheel, aseptically now that you have the insurance.

However, if you let the crack go too far and it opens up to the point that you end up with a flat. BMW might tell you sorry the wheel is bend you went thru potholes (make sure by going over the fine print on your wheel coverage that this cannot happen).

Good luck.
