Retro look - Style 75 wheels

I just mounted these Style 75 wheels on my 2009 Sapphire Black X5d. They were made by BBS for BMW and are lightweight 19" staggered wheels. I bought them off ebay. I have never seen them on a vehicle, but I really liked them.

Since these were manufactured for the E53, the hub bore was too small at 72.56mm. The seller had access to a machine shop so they increased the bore to 74.1 and did a perfect job. The wheels were immaculate.

I ditched the worn out Diamaris for a new set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 255/50/19 front and 285/45/19 rear.

This has made a huge difference in the handling and quiet smoothness of my ride. Very glad I went through the effort.

I know some will not like them, but just thought I would share.

My winter setup is the stock style 209 with 235/60/18 Vredestein Wintracs. Snow traction like a tank.
