That is funny that you would post. I was just reading your thread about these and said...hey I like the look of those rims.
How was it getting them to fit? I thought the X6M replicas didn't fit the regular X5s? Do you know how wide each rim is and the offsets? Any pictures from the back to see if the rim/tire combo sits further in from the fender than the stock 214s?
Not sure if I want to go 315 wide, might want to stick with 275 to have a slightly narrower/cheaper tire but then again 275 on an 11 inch or 10.5 rim might look too stretched.
