I'm missing the centercaps on the wheels; they're on the way...

818,

Titz!
I really like the wheels, espc. the inner black rim
and the tint is really needed on the X3 with that wimpo stock tint they give. Car looks outstanding.!

dude, thats sweet!

Very nice! Are you happy with the way the tires ride/handle? Are you getting BMW center caps? Looks like the entire inside part of the wheels is black - is it?

Thanks everyone. :)

X5Jay,

All I can say about the tires is: Holy Sh*t! The grip compared to the all-seasons that came with the X3 is night and day. It might just be me and the "feel" but my X3 feels a tad quicker due to the grip.

I am getting some BMW centercaps. I've also ordered some black/white BMW logo stickers, I may use them as well.

And finally, yes the entire inside of the wheel is black.

VERY nice! I love the color of your X. I'm looking into getting rims, too. Can I ask how much those set you back? tires and all?

Looks great bro!!! :thumbup: I love the new X3's with the painted bumper. Looks so much better!!

im almost positive you bought those rims off ebay.. EVERYTIME i check ebay for rims for x3.... the ones you got pop up in 1000000 auctions... n i always check em out casue they look good. if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for Rims and tires and shipping altogether if anything... im thinkin of gettin rims .. probably 20" but the onlyt hing is im on a 3 year lease.. n i have to stop all my mods!!!!!!! theyre addicting.. once you start you never stop-:tsk: :tsk: :tsk:

Yes, the wheels are from ebay (EuroTech). I paid $525 plus tax and picked them up. They are located in the north San Diego area so I saved on the shipping ($125). Drove down and back early Sat. morning. I was home in time for lunch. :thumbup:

Tires, mounted and balanced, with tax was $900. Got them from Just Tires. TireRack has them for $184 (a bit cheaper) but I went with convenience. ;)

Good people at EuroTech. When I picked up the wheels, they said the replica X5 wheels (20" chrome or silver) will fit the X3... BUT you cannot use a staggered set-up.

These specifically:

I hear ya bro. Remus exhaust is probably next for me and personalize plates.

A side note, the BFGoodrich tires are a tad "loud" compared to the stock tires. Since they are new it may get quieter. But I don't care.

suh-weet!

what do you mean u cant use a staggered setup . whats that? sry im new to the rims topic...how much were the 20"?

It has to do with the width and offset of the wheels as well as the width of the tires you use (235 vs. 245 vs. 255, etc.) They have the chrome 20" for $995. The silver, I would think, would be less expensive. Give them a call, they are very helpful. 858-688-5521.

BTW, I am not affiliated with them in any way. Just a happy customer.

Very nice looking rims!! They very much reminds of the AC Schnitzer type IV. Also like the color-keyed aero bumpers....imho that's a must for an X3.

Nice job on the X3!!!! Looks GREAT!!!!:thumbup:

Thanks everyone. :thumbup:

I concur! Your car looks awesome!

Got the black/white center caps in...
