Looking to pick up some 18s. 264s or the like in the Balt-DC area. Dinged up curb rash is fine for winter wheels. Cheap please. <$400, preferably cheaper. Already have the tires so I don't need wheel/tire combo offer and don't need 17s.

Dash rattle
Has anyone fixed rattles themselves in the dash? When I press down on the dash above the instrument cluster it stops. Any guidance on how to Diy is appreciated.
E92 - Car vibrates periodically, sloppy feeling rear end
So recently when I have been driving to work my car will start vibrating heavily for about 1-2 minutes every journey. This seems to happen after around 30 minutes of driving. I have attached two videos of it happening, and if you listen carefully you'll hear the bassy thud rather than the phone vibrating against the dashboard. The vibration kind of feels like driving over a rumble strip. The frequency seems to be about that of the wheel rotation around 10-15Hz. I drop the clutch and go to neutral in the video so that rules out most of the drive train, bar the diff.
Does anyone have any idea what this is could be? I am thinking it could be tyre related, maybe as they go through heat phase. I know my front right is slightly out of round, and initially thought this was coming from there, but having happened a few more times it feels like the rear.
So potentially related, the car handles like a shopping trolley lately. The alignment was out quite a bit and I had that done and that stopped it driving to drive in every direction but straight, but the handling at medium speeds still feels wrong and the car feels like it is yawing quite a bit even on the straights. Sometimes like the back end is just wobbling around. That said, throw it into a corner at speed and the car doesn't feel like it lacks grip, although it doesn't feel as planted as it used to, it feels like its rolling more rather than gripping the inside of the turn as it used to.
Having seen my previous run-flats after they have been removed from the car and the sidewall has been peeling away from the tyre I am slightly worried this is a tyre issue. That said numerous people have said it may be the bushes are worn. BMW have checked over the suspension and it just passed MOT so they say that is fine. I know how thorough they are....not though and if your shocks aren't leaking and nothing is rusty that is probably their definition of all good.
If the bushes are worn, could they cause the vibration in the video? What are the potential parts that could be causing the poor handling?
Any help appreciated. I hope I will be able to pop up to Steve at some point and maybe he can take a look.

Urgent help needed. Driver's door will not open.
Had my car tinted 2 weeks ago. I expressed my concern to the guy when I dropped it off that the tint scratches on e90's. He said he'd never had an issue in 12 years in business. I let him do his thing without the tint protector strips.
Just as I suspected, it scratched almost immediately. I called him, he said no problem bring it back we'll make it right. I got the tint protector strips, and he said he'd install them for me so I left the car. He re-tinted the driver window and installed the protector strips.
2 nights ago I picked up the car, drove home, and when I got here I opened my driver door, it took 3 pulls of the handle. I didn't think much of it, thought maybe I didn't pull quite hard enough the first or second time.
Didn't drive the car yesterday to work, but I drove it in the evening to the grocery store, 3 pulls to open the door. I drove to work this morning and again 3 pulls.
So yeah now it's apparent there's an issue.
I get home from work tonight and the door doesn't open at all now.
First pull will pop the lock up, but second pull does nothing.
Doesn't disengage whatever latch is there.
Doesn't open from the outside.
Locking/unlocking with fob or manually with key doesn't help.
Really not sure what I can do. Tint guy is a customization shop, not a mechanic so I'm not counting on him to be able to fix it, even if he could get the door open which at this point seems extremely unlikely since there's no way to get the door panel off.
Looking for any ideas/help the e90post hive mind has. I'm really bummed and sad about this. Sorry for the long post.

Some pics of my JB/FRx M3 ZCP
Been a while since I have posted on forums. Haven't really posted much on M3post, but some of you may know of me from M3forums.
I bought a 2011 M3 Jet Black/Fox Red Extended ZCP 6MT about 4-5 months ago. Very happy with the way E92s are compared to E46 M3s! Modded the car right away and now got it to the point where I'm happy with it. (I don't do stock cars :thumbsup:) When I bought it, it came with the BBS CH-R wheels, B&B exhaust w/ AA midpipe (sounds awesome), and a CF amuse style trunk. I then lowered the car on swift springs (keeping the stock edc, rides better all around), arkym front lip, changed the trunk out to a higher quality frp and paint matched, misc paint matched parts, misc cf parts, misc lighting mods, 5mm spacer all around, new meaty RE-11 tires, tinted the windows, got an extensive exterior detail.
May eventually do some more mods this spring, would love Red BBK :bow: and an electronic dump for the exhaust.
Some quick shots in my garage in MO:
Good iPhone pic after detail:
Some shots in Chicago:
Some a little crazy shots (I know not everyone style of edits, but I love crazy pics lol) in my garage spot in Chi:
A cool random edit I did for a profile pic/iPhone wallpaper, just thought id share:
I have some more pics that I will eventually post, just have to find the time to get them process and posted. Work is taking too much of my free time up :(
