what are style 153 rims worth?

[blackx]

debating on keeping them or getting different ones. How much are they at the dealer ? what is your favorite wheel for the x5?

Without tires, maybe $300-$400, but that's a stretch/guess, and you didn't state 'condition'...
They would make good dedicated winter rims for someone, also.

No idea what a dealer sells them for, other than bust out retail/"lots", but while it's a good looking 18" non-staggered wheel, I doubt many are shopping for that style at a dealer.

Looking at your location...I'm curious as to why you're not keeping them as dedicated wheels for snow tires. The 18" size makes them a great choice for turning into dedicated snow wheel/tire set-up as suggested by motordavid in the post above. And if you purchase your snow tires through a local tire vendor/dealer...they will more than likely offer free mounting/dismounting at the beginning/end of each winter season.

Besides, even the best all-season tires won't get you around as well as the worst dedicated winter tire. All though the X5 is AWD, BMW even recommends winter tires for those that live in areas that have serious winter weather.

I have a winter set of 18" Michelin Lattitude X-Ice xi2...and they were excellent this past winter. My best snow story was the mid-March snow storm we got this year...I didn't even bother to shovel the driveway since the forecast was for 40° temps within the next 30 hours...if it's going to melt that quickly...why kill myself shoveling and burning up gas in the snowblower.

The backed the X down the driveway into the unplowed street, and drove off on my way without a hiccup. Dedicated winter tires are worth every penny if you live in snow country...even when owning an AWD vehicle.

Tires are like shoes...the correct ones for the conditions you're in make all the difference. I'm sure the image below is very familiar to you...and if so, you really should consider dedicated winter tires for those 18" Style 153 wheels you're thinking of unloading. When ambient temps drop to consistently below 45° F...you can throw on your dedicated winter setup...and when spring returns and ambient temps remain above 45°F...throw on you spring/summer/fall set-up.
