New wheels! 19"

4MoJoe · #1 03-13-2011, 11:36 PM

I finally got my new 19" rims yesterday and had them put on today with new Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport tires. Staggered. Got the rims for $800 shipped. Some curbage on 1 but over all pretty nice.

REALLY changed the look of my X5. Kept my 18" with the snow tires for easy change over.

Car needs a wash...

Very nice, mD style!

i'm sure he will chime in and compliment you! it does really change the look, i used to have the same 18s as you had for my X5, i thought i liked them until i got 20" style 87s.

Enjoy them!

Hey Naz - I think I remember you had your old rims for sale. I liked my old rims - which now are the snow rims...but this just is so different. Ride had changed a bit and seems like the steering effort is a bit heavier.

The only thing that bothers me now is that the lug bolts have rusted and there is no black paint left.

I painted my lug bolts with Rust-oleum. It needs to be done every couple times, but it worked out pretty well!

Ecs tuning has a set of 20 lugbolt caps.

I got such a steal on them.

Here is a better photo now that I've detailed my X5.

Too small, if you're gonna stay OEM at least get 20's at a minimum.

That's funny, I was at the gym yesterday and had parked next to a woman with a stock X5 3.0 with 17's. She commented on my X5 and if liked it, etc and then asked if the wheels where OEM or what. I told her OEM 19's and she thought they were too big.

I got such a deal it was hard to pass up. $800 shipped. I like 20's but really wanted to preserve ride quality and I really do like the 19' staggered look.
