X5 Wheel Question

[EKS PYB]

They were both the same. Both were replicas but not much different from OEMs I heard from other members here on the forum.

I surely don't want to spend alot of money on OEM rims especially when the guys at most shops doesn't care when they work on peoples' cars.

I wish you guys would post pics instead of numbers!!!
Blk I like that style 132 alot
I like the chrome 20" that seem to be a chrome version of the 168 as in this pic
but my winter wheel is pretty cool too but I dont know the number I bought the wheels and tires at a killer deal from a friend. in the side pic its 18"
but still a good looking wheel

Good to know. I think I'll go with the #132s in 20" just to be a little different.
My mind may change by the time I get my X, but as of now that's the one.

Thanks for all of the info, and pics.

hey paul, the winter tires you bought are Style 116. If ever you want to know what style rims you have. Just go to the front of the X5world site and under Body, Wheels & Styling section, that's where all the list of BMW rims ever made.

that's where I go for reference most of the time when i don't know what style it is.

nice looking 168s...but i am more into the subtle look and am not a big fan of the bling so I went with the silver instead of chrome...

Do you have more pics of the silver X with your rims on it? I was going to buy OEM 132's, but these 20's have been stuck in my head.

Thanks,
Dan

Blk I am not a big bling guy either but I was himming and hawing on the deal and the dealer whipped those out for free. that sealed the deal. I have not done any bling to my Z4M or the GT3. The dealer threw those in for me and I thought they kind of looked cool on black. Now that I look back at the two sets I like yours better however I am not going to trade back. I like the 116 so much I may just stay with that and sell off the chromes.
BUT they DO look good on black!

Oh, that's cool to have gottten by dealer throwing those in with your X5. But if you want to sell those, i'm sure someone will definitely be happy to take those off your hands. Just post it on the SAV for Sale section.

As far as the Black X5 with Sytle 132s, yes it does look great. Even my wife liked that look and she's not really into cars and such but gave a great comment when i upgraded them.
