the rims on the care are very bland.
i was reading on this forum about the X6M rims, and how the center needs to bored... i do not really know what that means.
but either way..

The X6 has different center hub sizes on the rear than the X5 - anything from an X5 2007+ will work on yours and there are many companies selling replicas of all the wheels for $200 each. they look identical, some are ok, some are cheap and may easily bend or crack if you drive on a lot of rough roads! In the end you can buy say a set of 214 20" take off's for 3000-3500, if you buy reps, you are looking at $900 shipped + $1400 for a set of runflats shipped +200 for TPMS +200 mount and balance = $2700, so for a few bucks more you can have the BMW wheels.
Even better as suggested - you can add the 214's for not a lot of money and then if you needed some 19's for winter use, they are cheaper to buy and put some winter tires on.
