Any experience with these knock offs?
 
Hi,

after about 1 year with my x5 3.0 completely stock, I'm considering upgrading to these 19" wheels with scorpion assymetrico tires for $1700. Any opinions on wheels and caps?

Thanks!

Consider the following!
Style#63

I lil harder to clean but 10x better looking than style#132. Same OE replica manufacturer btw!

Hi Ecko, for some reason the style 63 rims seem a little more dated to me and the style 132 ones I picked look cleaner and more modern... but welcome thoughts on this! Any one else with opinions on what other 19" to get? I want to stick with 19" since I can get the pirelli all season tires, dont' want to go to 20 with summer tires.

I know, I know there dated
 
I guess I just luv the ol school type style of rims. A favorite which I have on my 740il is the good ol M-Parallel's. U can find these in just about every size 18" through 22", staggered ?"x8F, ?x9.5R with a 1.5"lip F and 3"lip R. Just more thoughts for you I guess.

you know, on this we agree, I love the parallels rims too! did not know they could fit the X5. any idea where I could get 19"'s for the X5 and what size offset I should get?

IMO, the style 63 and style 132s are both excellent choices.
if your X is 00-03 pre-face lift, i would get the style 63,
and if its 04 and up facelifted i would get the style 132s
