$21,500 for wheels???

That's right! US$17,300 or CD$21,500 in Canada! I was looking into the Hamann lowering kit and asked a local distributor the price on the E70 wheels in 21". They're nice, but the price is ridiculous...

For that price they better do more than just hold your car off of the road.

If you know what I mean.

Actually, the rims are 23 inch, and I agree that they are incredibly expensive... but I believe you are being quoted very high. I have just purchased the exact rims, 23 inch with tires for USD11k, delivered via sea freight direct from Hamann....

And seriously, they are the wildest, most amazing rims on the X5....

These wheels come in 21" or 23" sizes only. The price I got quoted was for the 21"! Yeah, we get ripped off for everything in Canada and retailers basically charge higher prices because they can. Would you believe the distributor said that's his most popular set and even at that price he does not have any left. 3-4 weeks to get them in. Probably just giving me a load of crap! You'd have to be stupid to spend $21,000 on wheels even if you have the money. Funny how you got the 23" for almost half that...

You are being charged a lot. Here in Dubai, you pay almost 25% extra for a nice car, and most other stuff is double the price. With that said, I was offered these rims in 21" or 23" for $10,000 and $12,000. The kit is about $25k to $30k.

Apologies, you are right, they come in both sizes. The ones in the pic are 23". My guess is they are the most popular and he sells one set every couple of years... and for sure he has no stock. Who would keep stock at that price... 3-4 weeks is the sea freight option.

And yeah for almost half mine are the 23 inch WITH TIRES. I feel for you brother...
