Wow beautiful wheel! Definitely a nice upgrade!

Just a couple of qs, Where and how much did you get the wheels? And, does the car handling improved compare to when you had 17'?

nice rims eddii...your X5 looks just like mine especially with the OEM rims...but of course, yours is an '05 mine is an '03. i switched rims on that puppy the minute i got it in within a week...i also did the staggered look but with replica style 132s.

good job! yes, just changing rims makes a whole lot of difference in the looks of any car or suv...

the only thing missing is the running board ...

Congrats !

That is One Beautiful Oil-burner ! :)
the 177's are Really really beautiful wheels on the X. I've got 132's on my'06; they're very nice, but those 177s.. :drool:

Now just just gotta get a li'l tunit box (or similar) for the go to match the looks (that's if you don't already have it).

Very nice..!

If you don't mind answering, around how much did it cost?

eddii 12-02-2006 01:22 AM

thanks for all your comments and support

the rims are $2400 AUD, it was cheaper for them to fit the tyres as well.
All up, cost me $4800 AUD balanced and shipped.

i bought these from ABI wheels. they have an ebay store.

here's the link of the mags available for our cars:

http://stores.ebay.com.au/ABI-Wheels...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

they will ship them overseas too:thumbup: :thumbup:


the car handles great now, a bit bumpy ride tho which was expected. I haven't done some highway runs to test out how noisy they are, should be interesting.;)

Does anyone know how many K's can i get out of my michelins driving like a grandma? :rofl:
