Yeah any OEM type wheel will work, again wanted 18" for winter. I'm checking ebay, but do you know where to find some oem or whatever rims so I can put snow tires on?

What offset am I looking for, for a 05 4.8is? 48?

Thanks

ET20 is not good for the X5, unless you like paint peelers. OEM will be ET48 for the most part, aftermarket about ET42 or ET45.

I was going to go with aftermarket rims from TR because I couldn't find any OEM locally. I like OEM for strength and not having to use centering rings, basically I know it fits. Then 2 weeks ago, I saw a set of OEM style 58 on ebay and no bids, I made a lowball offer and the guy accepted.

This really sucks though cuz someone local just put up a set of OEM style 69 for sale (which I like better). Murphy's law I guess.

Keep checking ebay and Craigslist, or go with a TR package.

I prefer OEM too as I have experienced bent wheels with aftermarket products.

Ok awesome info guys... here is my "Hopefully" last question....

on these rims Y-spoke style 131, 18" of course, fit these tires:

4 BRIDGESTONE Blizzak 265/60/18, also, not sure about a 60 side wall, will they look ok?

Thanks again everyone.

Tires will fit on wheels but not sure about wheels on car. I have seen style 58, style 74, style 99 and few other OEM on 4.8is. You may have to test fit to see.
