I believe oem widths for 214's are 10" up front and 11" rear . . .

Hmm, these Replicas are quiet similar to 336 then. I wonder how would these replicas look on White e70?

that's correct and my reps are 10/11 as well. I didn't notice that about oemwheelsplus' sizes. I was told that 9.5/10.5 would be fine on our tires because it's so close... not sure about 8.5/9.5 but people here have done those reps already.

That is correct - my mistake. Both the 214s and the 300M reps were 10/11...

Thanks for everyone's input. Had to replace the brakes and tires on my car so had to decide on wheels fast and couldn't wait. So back to the 214's for me. I do like the 336's, but they just look slightly more difficult to wash.

Have 4 x 21" 128's up for sale now. If anyone is interested, PM me. Looking for local sale only. Wheels are located at dealership in Orange County.

I agonised over thwe decision between 20" 336 and 214's. In the end I went with both. Got OEM 336's and replica 214's as spare set. The 336's look unbelievable on the car. Much more agressive but they are very difficult to clean. However as they are a darker shade than the 214's they take a bit longer to look dirty.

The other reason I decided on replica 214's is that those replicas are almost an exact match for the OEM 214's. However the replica 336's are painted black i parts where the OEM are not. They looked cheap vs OEM's.

Standard rims on X6M are 20"(style 300M), not 21".

There are black 214s with accents? Interesting.

Well I am in Australia land of the parity dollar, yet they cost almost AUD$9000 (thats US$9000+ these days) to buy. Thankfully I purchased the 40d Sport and they ware standard. I only had to pay $150k to get the car to sit on top of them!!!! But I do feel satisfied that I have done my patriotic duty and improved our federal government coffers with Luxury car tax, GST and other misc taxes to the tune of about $50k. Oh and by the way they are soon to introduce a carbon tax that will mean I am paying even more on the exhaust smoke I blow from the $1.70 per litre ($6.65 per gallon) fuel. Tax on a tax on an tax.

The system is working beautifully. Governments are taken over by bankers. Bankers go bankrupt. Government bails bankers. Government goes bankrupt. Citizens pay more tax. Government prints money (a hidden tax called inflation). Bankers make huge profits on insider deals. Middle class get crushed by rising tax and cost of living. Economy melts down but cost of living goes parabolic. Government prints more money. Citizens protest. Government starts wars. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Ahhhhh that feels better......
