X6 with 21" Style 215

When I stopped by Richmond BMW, they had a handful of X6s, including one that was near the customer lot with Style 215 21" wheels on it. It was a Space Gray 3.5i version with Black leather.





It's even more hideous in person than it is in pictures. The thing is ghastly, and I didn't mind saying so to the sales rep.

Edit: The pics are cell phone pics. So the quality isn't amazing.

Looks great with those wheels. Although your pics are not that great. Good job anyway.

Those wheels fill the arches much nicer than the 20"s....

I wish they were available over here

Are they still run flats though ???


I hate the run flats on my X5, the ride is so crashy over rough ground, simply horrible...

This is something I have been trying to find out over the last few months.

Dunlop is the only tyre company that I can see which fits these rim dimensions:
Front 285/35 R21 105W
Rear 325/30 R21 108W
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RunOnFlat.

Does anybody know of non run flat tyres that fit that would fit the above dimensions?

Kind Regards
ekelly

Thought you meant the rims, down here I have only seen run flats with this combo - this is what I have - 22,000kms now and looks like another 12,000 may be possible.

Cheers,
