PPF and Winter wheel+tire suggestion (This section looks lonely)

This section looks a bit empty so hope I would get some responses.
I just got my allocation for the G87 and car should get here in MA around late October. Just in time for the winter!

So I am looking to some PPF and wonder anyone in the area has suggestion for a good installer. I know Xpel site listed some but I might want to use 3M or STEK but couldn't find much info.

I have a BMW F22 228xi currently and never driven a FR car before so definitely a bit nervous about the winter driving.
I am planning on getting a set of wheel and tires. I saw in the wheels section there is a BMW winter package running for about $4k.
Tirerack seemingly has no wheels for winter for the G87.

I just wonder if anyone know some good local MA physical wheel stores?

I'm also searching for a PPF installer in the Boston area -- specifically one that uses the STEK brand. I came across a shop named Autoworx in Woburn. I haven't reached out to them yet, but I follow their work on Instagram. You might consider checking them out.

Woburn is not far from me. I will give them a call and see (eventually). Thanks for the tip!

Had three cars PPF'd by Kevin. Top notch work. Also had my F87 M2 paint corrected.

In the event this helps anyone out in the area: If in Maine or close enough - I had my PPF done through BMW of Westbrook (fantastic dealer experience, generally) and really am hating the end result. I think it's done by Xtracoat and it's definitely poorly cut templates that they utilize that have some egregious seams in places that absolutely shouldn't - amongst other small issues. Avoid.

I had PPF done at my local BMW dealer, through Xtracoat (BMW of Westbrook here in Maine) - I love the guys there, and the dealer experience is fantastic but jesus christ the PPF guy has botched it twice. I'm just going to call it a loss and bring it elsewhere. I believe it's done by Xtracoat

I received my car in July from Tully in Nashua, NH. They did the PPF. I am quite happy with the job they did.

I actually ended up doing the full front by the BMW Sudbury when I got my car last year.
And then decided to finish the rest of the car at Q Car Care in Burlington.
The dealer one forgot PPF for the lower bumper plastic part so took it in and they finished that off.
Q Car Care didn't miss any spots but there were some bubbles but I took it back in and they fixed or redid them.
Q Car Care did also redo the whole car ceramic coating when I get the rest of the car PPF.

I think overall both places did a good enough job.
