Detroit Wheel and Tire has them. I believe they sell refurbished ones. They told me that usually there is minor scratch damage when they get them and repaint to look brand new. They sell OEM. You might have luck finding 4 fronts from them. Just make sure they have the 74.1mm bore opening. I agree with you. I love this wheel too. The pics don't do them justice.

Should be an easy "fix" however. Not much metal to remove to make them fit. I will be sure to post once I have them mounted. Thanks to all for the info. Might be nice to have possibly the only X5 with these wheels!!

pongpap,
If you go with the 275's, I'd love to see a few pics. Those wheels are INCREDIBLE!! I think they would make the X5 look very aggressive.

YES, this is the 275 that I'm talking about. I've taken a look at your ebay listings many times and still deciding. 275 would be nice cuz no one in Doha has it on X5 yet, but it will also come with lots of work on enlarging the bore size on the rear wheels. My concern is that there aren't any good tire shop here in Doha that can enlarge the bore size on these rims. I just don't trust them to work on this expensive set of wheels.

I'm also interested on your other listing of 239 style. But the problem is that there are quite a few guys here with 239 already.

So many projects in my head ya know... I also got Hartge Classic II 20" for E60 sitting around and just wonder that I could make it fit on E70 or not. I'm not driving my E60 that much anymore cuz I'm now living in Doha and my E60 is mostly sleeping in the garage back in Bangkok.

If I end up deciding to go with style 275 I will post some pic here for sure.
Thanks again!

Found this pic online (ebay). These are the wheels I have (259s). The owner had them painted sapphire black met. What does everyone think? I have thought about painting mine but I'm not convinced about this blacked out look just yet
