Just to update the thread... here is the e70 18" Style 210 wheel (8.5 x 18 et 46) on a 4.4 e53. Fit perfectly with hub centric rings and looked great.
So in short all e70 18 wheels should fit the e53's excluding the 4.8 with the bigger brakes. The only 18" wheel that will fit the e53 4.8 is the Style 99 e53 wheel because of the aggressive 40mm offset (18 x 8 et40).
The photo is right after we jacked up the car so it hasn't settled down yet.

I have E70 replicas on mine. I think they are 214s? Could be wrong though. They are 20 x 9.5 and 10.5 respectively, not 20 x 10 and 11 as the E70 originals are I think.

I love them as everyone seems to get the 4.6 style wheels, so they are a little different.

BTW, nevermind the Atturos, I'm waiting on my Continentals to be shipped from Tirerack, there is a back order.....

Won't work - don't do it... :D

You say what now? ;)

Milsy, Do you have any more shots of your truck with those E70 Replicas? Maybe from the side? IT LOOKS SWEET! Where did you get them from and how much? I have an '06 4.8is and it came with the stocks chromed...I hate it. Way too flashy for my taste.

Hope these help, can take some more if you need.

That is one sexy wheel! I meant from the side looking down though...like from the front headlight looking down the side of the truck towards the back of the truck and vice versa...i'm checking out the "poke" on the wheel.

thanks for the quick reply though!

Mate, I think they are around 1200 AUD, so not too far off the USD at the moment.

Any questions, give me a yell. They come in a wider variant too, 20 x 10 and 20 x 11 which fits with wider guards apparantely.
