WTB: Black Rims for 2004 3.0
 

currently rocking stock 17in wheels and want to upgrade to black

I dipped my stock ones but as we all know plastidip will eventually peel at some point in time and don't want to deal with the hassle

any input would be much appreciated....

thank you

Are you planning on keeping the 17s? If so just powdercoat them

Don't have a backup set though, how long does that process usually take?

I had huge air bubbles in one of my dipped rims so I ended up peeling them off anyway :confused:

You'd have to check a local powdercoater, usually a couple weeks. Alternatively, find a set for the E53 you like off of Craigslist or something and send those out to be PC'ed

ok perfect thanks as always Ricky!

If you were closer I'd give you a smoking deal on a set of 17's off my old 4.4i to have powdercoated.

You want a set of replica 87's?? ;) Look great powdercoated... I could even get them powdercoated for you...

It's ok :(

pm me and we'll go from there :thumbup:

Do any of you just run winter tires all year round? I see no reason to get sport tires unless you have M edition personally.

I run sport tires all year round. Texas... :D

must be nice lol

cold weather is approaching the chicagoland area but know my X will handle the snow no problems :thumbup:

I run staggered 20s with all seasons (no seasons lol) all year round because I'm lazy - I'm not climbing any snow covered mountains so for my grocery getting and office commute it does just fine - and I can drive in snow better than half the friggin soccer mom bimbos in their Lexus RX talking on their cell phone and wondering why their DSC lights are flashing in the snowstorms as they slide into the car in front of them lol

lol this ^^^^

I have winter tires on my stock 17's which are so worn out from baked brake dust in some spots, I was just gonna use those for winter and when I get new rims and tires I would rock those for rest of the year

I want to get at least 19's on my new tire set

^Personally if you dont have rear fender flares the Style 87's are perfectly flush without spacers due to the offsets

good point

mine are exactly like this and also have those rims

I have a set of style 58 18" wheels for a X5. Comes with Sumitomo 255 55 18 tires. I'm also located in Chiraq. PM if you are interested in them.

pm sent

found these today, price is a joke but willing to knock him down to at least 800

and these

what you guys think?

Not sure the offset is going to be right on those first ones?

The second ones are kind of meh... at least to me.

The hub could be too big on the second set of wheels since they were brought for a X5M. You will need to go with hubcentric rings, not unless you like driving a car with the shakes.

send me a pic of the ones you have :)


you're right, I think I'm just gonna wait until after Winter to purchase new set of rims, I can't open the pm you sent me because work blocks pictures lol

can you attach yours blacked out that you found online?

HERE'S THE PIC OF SOMEONE PAINTING THEIR STYLE 58 RIMS BLACK.

PM me your email.

I have a set of style 63's, black, 19" staggerd with 9.5/10 rear and 8.0/10 fronts Hancook a07's. I'm in Detroit, but I'd meet you half way (snow storm excepted...)

pm sent but would prefer black rims

thoughts on price?

bump of prosperity

too much

agreed and plus considering the scratches

will try to make lower offer and let you guys know

the tires are about $900 with free shipping plus they are about 8-10 months old. and like you said, the wheels have some scratches. i would probably pay around $1000-$1200

got him down to 1600 only and tires are brand new only 1000 miles on them, not sure if it's really worth it at this point with that price

now they are 1500 lol

thoughts?

personally I would stay at 1200 but its only worth as much as you want to spend. is it worth the $200-$300 difference to wait for another set to come around? i bought replica style 87's before for $600 on ebay. local shops in my area sell replica 20" wheels for $800-$900

yeah that was my thought process as well man

thanks for the suggestions and enjoy your weekend :thumbup:

With brand new tires that is not a bad deal. New Toyo Proxes on sale run ~$800 and are one of the most affordable quality 20" tires in X5 sizes. I've seen those wheels for ~$700 before, so it adds up. Talk him down a hundred or two and jump on them if you like those wheels. They've always been one of the best X5 options available.

agreed on them being one of the best X5 options but talking him down more is not going to happen, the tires are pure quality and like I mentioned have only 1000 miles but for the 2 damaged curb scratches you'd think it would be at a more reasonable offer price which ultimately leads me to believe there's a reason why he hasn't sold them yet, therefore I'm not going to consider it anymore

found another deal, maybe can get it down to 1000

https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/wto/5374969916.html

purchased for 1000 with new tires too

Smokin deal.

Nice job! Now you can mark thread as "solved" lol
