Eurotech 215's no more!!

My service rep at the BMW dealer saw my wheels for the first time and really liked them. I told him where to find them. He informed me today that Eurotech is out of the 20" 215's and didn't sound like they were getting any more.

I was afraid of that - guess I have to be really careful with mine...

I'm just glad that we were able to capitalize on the 215's!!

Hmmm...I know at least 4 or 5 of us nailed the 215's from eurotech....there must be quite a bit on non X5worlderz out there that jumped on them also..The 214's are also out of stock.......they only have 168's left!!

Damn, no more 215 option... well, lakeshorewheelandtire now has staggered 20" 214's. (recent addition for them) Maybe they'll get 215's next.

I was just about to pull the trigger for the 20" 215s replicas from Eurotech.... sold out. I called them and they said just about all the 215s were purchased from forum members. He said they may get some more it, but I think its a big MAYBE?

That's one of the problems with aftermart wheels. They stop making a particular design and later, if you need a replacement, you can't get one. The insurance co isn't going to feel that is their fault and won't pay you for a set of a new design.

In fairness, it could be the case for any wheel, aftermarket, OEM, custom etc. They can discontinue any wheel. Worst case scenario you can buy an OEM 215... that would be really worst case scenario.

I've considered buying 2 more 214s (front and rear) in case one of them get damaged.. at those bargain basement prices.. why not get an entire set!! lol. 87s in odd years summers and 214s in even years summers..

These wheels are made in China and are rip-offs of the OEM design. They are frequently involved in law suits because of this, Eurotech in particular...

I purchased my 22" Stormers from them for my Range Rover Sport. I love my wheels, but they are also out of those now. I too have to be very careful.

Arghh... Just as I was going to hook up the X
