Yes, the wheels are from ebay (EuroTech). I paid $525 plus tax and picked them up. They are located in the north San Diego area so I saved on the shipping ($125). Drove down and back early Sat. morning. I was home in time for lunch.

Tires, mounted and balanced, with tax was $900. Got them from Just Tires. TireRack has them for $184 (a bit cheaper) but I went with convenience.

Good people at EuroTech. When I picked up the wheels, they said the replica X5 wheels (20" chrome or silver) will fit the X3... BUT you cannot use a staggered set-up.

These specifically:

It has to do with the width and offset of the wheels as well as the width of the tires you use (235 vs. 245 vs. 255, etc.) They have the chrome 20" for $995. The silver, I would think, would be less expensive. Give them a call, they are very helpful. 858-688-5521.

BTW, I am not affiliated with them in any way. Just a happy customer.

Very nice looking rims!! They very much reminds of the AC Schnitzer type IV. Also like the color-keyed aero bumpers....imho that's a must for an X3.

A side note, the BFGoodrich tires are a tad "loud" compared to the stock tires. Since they are new it may get quieter. But I don't care.
