Get them to look up on the inside of the wheels.

I sent him an e-mail and he has not replied, if I knew the info I would commit to buying them

My guess is that these 21" wheels have the same offset as the 7-series.
Carlos,I agree with you!DO NOT commit yourself before knowing more about the wheels.Once you know their width and offset,I can tell you exactly how they will stand on X5!

I'm looking into getting these rims for my X3, 19". I read in the BMW wheel catalog that the 21's are for/from the 7-series. I'll check my wheel catalog to see if they list the offsets.

Hi Carlos,
Have you heard from the guy who's got the 21"rims?
Meanwhile,I have been doing some research and have found that the 7-series 760Li uses these according to realoem.com data.
These are style 128 and as you said in your first post,these are 21x9 and 21x10.

The rear wheel has an offset of 25 which is ok and will fit your X5 nicely ,some 30mm further out than oem 19"s but still not flush with the body!

Now,the front has an offset of 20 and is more complicated!This wheel will stick out 33mm more than than 19" and even slightly more (2.6mm) than a oem 20".Still,I am looking at my front 20"s and they are into the body,so an extra 2.6mm will be fine.

I have done these calculations assuming that you will be fitting tyres which match closely the 19" oem rolling diametre.
The recommended tyres are 265/40 front and 305/35 rear.(just 0.8% over).

About $2400 for the 21"s and $1500 for the 19"s. That's not including tires. (bmwwheels.com)
