I gots my X this wknd
 

2005 4.4, 26Kmi. blk/blk sport, premium, PDC, heated seats, pano. I'm not digging the chrome shoes. Where can I get a good deal on some OEM style 168's? Also need to replace some small plastic fender bits. I used to mail order thru Pacific BMW for my E46. Are they still the way to go?

Nice. Chrome 20" 132s...bling

You can find 168's on ebay.

Powder coat those black, it will look sick!!!

Damn I didn't think about that.. I gotta look for some pics of some murdr'd out 132's

photochop them black.;)

nice X

I love the light wood on the black leather!

Congrats on the X! It looks immaculate! :thumbup:

20" 132's look good! Most don't like the chrome....tastfully done I like!

If you really don't like then sell them here and Rock some Stag 87's....cant ever go wrong there!

RR

Looks great :thumbup: :xoutpost:

Very nice X but I agree the chrome has got to go. Love the panoramic roof. Good luck with her

Welcome and congratulations!

Hey guess what, they're 19's. Regardless, I'm going for a set of 20" 168's and a second set of smaller wheels for the snow.

Chrome w/ black looks good. Nice setup!

I was going to say they were 19's. I got my X with 132's and kept them for winter and had 168's for summer.

An Angeleno with snow tires?? That's a first....

:iagree: :iagree: I think it looks awesome the way it is right now. The chrome looks great on a black X. Not over-blinged at all. I would not take off those rims.

But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Well I go snowboarding often and I keep hearing that 20's are useless in the snow. Plus if there's a blizzard and I have to put chains on, I won't kill the dubs. At the very least, I don't wanna get condescending looks from people up there with real snow tires. :D

You may want to consider the 19" Pirrelli Zero Asemmetrico's. You are probably using your X5 like I do, as a winter ski car, but 98% of the time your on dry pavement. I have found that the Pirrelli's are adequate in the snow, including driving through several whiteouts in 4" to 6" of snow. I also keep a set of Z-chains for the really bad storms, (which I have never used).:thumbup:
