Winter Wheels for X5????

C's Bimmer · #1 01-01-2009, 04:34 PM

Can anyone suggest a good place to get a set of winter wheels for the X5? I'll even do replica. I'd like to stick with 19's, if possible.

Ebay? Craiglist? Many opportunities.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm a pretty big BMW modder, but this is my first X5. Most of the places I order my BMW aftermarket parts from, don't carry X5 parts. I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction.

I checked out eBay, but they had nothing. I don't do Craigslist. I was thinking more along the lines of BMW Specialty Vendors (i.e., ModBargains, TurnerMotorSports, etc..)

Here is one company that sells various X5 replica wheels. I might order my 19's for winter from them:

If anyone knows of any other decent sites, feel free to post them.

TireRack only offers 2 (Yes, 2) wheels in 19's for the X5 and they are god awful. This was one of the first places I tried, just to check what my options were if I didn't do OEM or avoided replica OEM.

Anyway, TR has awful choices for the X5, so this is out. Again, I'm looking to do 19" wheels for winter. If I go to 18's, this opens up more options, but I'm really trying to stay with 19's.

Hahahahahahaha! I think I should have clarified even further. I have the 20" OEM 214 wheels with my car. These are my SUMMER wheels! I have these wheels. These come with high performance summer tires. They are not made for ice and snow. Even with the x-drive system, the car will still slip.

This is why I need winter wheels in 19's, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg...
