Style 168 (replicas) installed today...

(Pics tomorrow I hope, too darned hot today)

The difference between the original 19" wheels and the new staggered 168 replicas is amazing. I went with the Michelin Diamaris, no difference in ride quality. Pics soon.

Question: What are the model #'s of the 19's that came with my car? (2006 4.4 Sport) I think I'll sell them here or on ebay. (suggest a starting price?)

I'm actually just about done modding my X5 and it's only been a week.

So far:

38% Tint all around
Clear Bra (front bumper, 1/4 hood, mirrors and headlights)
Sirius (installed by dealer last week)
Factory Hitch (installed by dealer last week)
DICE iPod interface
20" Style 168's (replicas) w/Michelin Diamaris
Misc: Rear trunk mat, rear bumper protector (on order)

Next up: AngelEye upgrade (I'm thinking CustomAngelEyes, unless the forum suggests a better option) I'll wrap it up with the rear camera mod, Likely down low near the hitch.

Can't wait for the pics!!!Your old 4.4 wheels were the Style 132s. You should probably start the price at $2000 depending the the condition of the tires.

Thanks! I'll take a few pics of the 132's and post them tomorrow. They have a whopping 200 miles on them

EurotechBmw, I called them direct instead of ebay.

Quick service, excellent quality.
