WANTED 21" 214's and Advice please.

[TOMMO]

Hi members!
Firstly Merry Chrimbo for all that are that way inclined! Hope you have a good 'un! I am looking for some 21" 214's for my baby, preferably ferric grey. If anyone can help, or is interested in trading (UK based obviously) for my 20" Y spokes plus some cash (immaculate with nearly new tyres) let me know. And my only concern with the 214's is the finish of the wheels. Does anyone have any experience with getting the wheels refinnished after being kerbed for example? I have a guy that is great at fixing normal alloys back to their original state but with the ferric grey or schwartz black i don't know? Thanks for your knowledge once again. Keep up the festive cheer.

OEM Style 214 comes in 20" and OEM Style 215 comes in 21". Are you looking for replica's?

I'm looking for 215's then i suppose. And preferably OEM. I must have the 20" 214's Y spoke's. Can you get replica 215's? What sort of money are they with rubber?

It says "genuine" but note the same search yielded results from a BMW dealer selling for nearly $5kUSD without rubber.

I don't know if 21" 215s have replicas. General estimate, my 214s replicas & rubber came out to just $2k. OEM 214s & same rubber was over $3k.

Thanks for your help. I am checking them out but $600 to the other side of the pond seems steep?. You had any chew with your rep's? How did you put the picture of your motor and the spec in signature?

Jeff,

What's up? Long time! Did you get yourself an E70 yet? I am looking at a blk/blk with 214's and a gry/blk with 215's. Having a tough time trying to decide on a color.

Hi Arvi !!

I'm still driving me E53, although I did put a set of OEM 214's on it this past spring.

- the stuff below the line is called a signature... user cp --> edit signature

- my replicas have been great, no problems whatsoever, except for the 2 times I curbed the rears. (hadn't been used to wider tires and tight turns in parking lots need more attention. )

Thanks for that. I have been on the CP and cant find out how to put in the picture of my wheels, it just has a link to a URL?
