Veryyy nice! Inoticed you installed the wheel arches too, do you have any spacers at the rear wheels? Btw where did you get your wheels? I assume they're replicas b/c of the widths, how's the quality?

Im considering replicas myself but im afraid they're going to break or bend when i hit a pothole....your input would be once again appreciated!

Catgo,

The wheel arches are standard when you get the sport package with 20" wheels.

I purchased the 214 reps from Ray at:

Wheel Tech
217 N. VERDUGO RD. UNIT E
GLENDALE, CA 91206
Tel: 1.818.549.0577
1.818.549.0586

Web: Chrome Rims, Custom Wheels and Car Wheels

He was awesome to deal with and I also purchased a set of the X6M reps for my truck in 20x10" and 20"x11" with 275 Michelin snow tires all around. He mounted the tires on the wheels and installed TPMS senors for me. Shipped to my door ready to mount (2 sets in total...)

No issues at all with either set and no spacers. My wife's rears look just a bit tucked if you really know what to look for and my rears look just a bit stretched but I am ok with the looks on both trucks since the 315s are much more expensive and are not as good in the snow and ice.

Just wanted to let you know that I spoke to ray and came to an agreement on 4 style 336 wheels, he was easy to contact and provided great service, very happy with purchase experience overall. I hope the quality of the wheels are as good as their customer service! I won't be at peace until I see them with my own eyes net week!

Anyways thanks for the tip!!!

Is there any difference is Toyo or OEM BMW quality. Are the Toyo's sturdy enough ot should we always go for OEM.

Looking to replace my stock 18's on my 2011 X5 35d.

Any word on the wheels? How is the quality as far as you can tell? Any problems etc. I'm like you...price on the reps is tempting, just concerned about quality.

Thanks

Hello, well after thinking about it and almost purchasing the reps, i decided to go with the oe wheels. Bought the 336 style wheels from tischer for about $2,200. Main reason i did this other than getting a much better quality wheel, was that I sold my 19's with 200 kms on them for $1,800 so i will basically only end up spending about $1,200 including tires. Waiting for the tires to arrive possibly by the end of the week.
