I need to buy new tires and I have been toying with the idea of buying new rims at the same time. It doesn't seem like there are very many pics out there of X3's with different rims other than X3 rims. I was just looking around and considering something like the ZHP or M3 rims like below or maybe even a CSL style (only BMW styles):

Some of the vendors that I have sent emails to always question whether my 2005 X3 3.0i Sport actually have 72.5 center bores because they say that they thought it should have the 74.1 bores. According to previous posts as well as everywhere on the web it says that all X3's and the older style X5's (E53) both have the 72.5 and the newer X5's have the larger bore. So, can anyone that has changed to anything other than another X3 rim confirm this?

Has anyone by chance fitted the rims above onto their X3?

The offsets do not seem to be an issue at all while staying with a 18" rim.

Any info or pics that you can supply would be great.
