It is listed that:

Rims Size: 20 X 10.0" front & 20 X 11.0" rear

OEM sizes for the E53 are 20 x 9.5" and 20 x 10.5" ... that's what I saw on my new 87s ... would that require different tyre size? You have to check!

Hmm... those look awesome in the ferric gray. One for me to consider if I ever get bored with the 87's. I look forward to seeing them installed Rasta, that new whip is coming together fast!

Weasel thanks! And yes it is coming together fast.. thanks to that bug i got from last year... settled down in winter and wasnt expecting to do any more mods other than a few... but now i'm starting all over again. Guess since i've done it once already i know what to do and what i want.

think i'm adding X-Pipe to the list.. i know when i start thinking about something the way i am about x-pipe it's going to happen. so why fight it. Starve a cold feed a fever isn't it? the mod bug is definitely the fever.

I'm one of the few who thinks the silver will look better. I think the gray will clash with the lemans.

I'd go with silver, it's completes the look rather than stand out in a "ooh ooh see my fancy rims" kind of way.

I dunno - with the dark running boards i think the silver will stand out with oooh ooh ahhh LOL. Bright shiny silver wheels - may almost look chrome. It was one of my worries. the 215s silver are a different silver than the 87s or 214s. I asked RR and X5Dawg this as well. If you look at their pics - the silver is shines bright.. love the look - but wasn't sure if it was right for my car.. to be honest i've never been a fan of dark wheels without a silver or chrome lip. But when i opened these.. LOL..

OK - disclaimer to original post since it might make me look like an idiot. He changed the picture on ebay. So those of you that saw it earlier know that i'm not an idiot. The new posters are thinking "why are you complaining? it looks just like the picture you idiot"

Anyway - he's offered to completely refund me and pay for shipping back to him. So it's my decision. He'll also pay me $50 for the picture of the wheels on my car if i install. LOL.
