As stated in a previous post, these were purchased from Eurotech. They looked great in the boxes in my basement, but once they were pulled out and really looked over, I would give them an 8 out of 10. Paint job definitely is not factory quality. There were a few knicks around the edge of the rims, but nothing really major. There are a few "wavy" places in the paint. But as they say, you get what you pay for - $950 including shipping, new lugs with locks, and hub rings. Overall (and from 5 feet back :D) they look fantastic. Hey, at least they were round!!

I figure in a few years when they get beat up, I will just pay to have a good paint job put on them. I am still thrilled with my purchase.

Congrats! They look great!


(Glad to see your wife let you take them out of the basement!)

They look great! nice choice indeed. :D

Dawg,
They look Titz, imo! :thumbup:

What a remarkably improved look from the puny 17s...
Well done review on the not quite oem quality, but
from normal viewing distances, they look fineazz.
Great pic on the wheels!

This is a great picture :thumbup: Now go get the 4.6is/4.8is rear skirt to finish her off ;)

:iagree: And running boards!

And color matching door handles/tailgate trim. When will the mods end? :dunno: :rofl:

:wow: those are tight for sure!!! love em. Just put on my 214s today.. love those too!!!

RBs and 4.6 rear would definitely look great.. lets see if you can sneak those in!! I'll let you know how I do.. will pass on any tips LOL..


i never noticed the tailgate and door handles were different on some Xs..

nice wheels. iwent with eurotech as well for my 168's

is that Hyper silver? Quite a dramatic change!

They look great!
I agree with the suggested other mods above

Thanks for all of the great replies. As far as the other mods, it took me 4 years to get a new set of wheels, so I am going to just drive em and enjoy em!!

Nice, you got her back from the shop! The rims look great, huge upgrade!

What's the website of Eurotech?

Not 100% sure.. you can find their store on ebay but you will have to call them for any BMW wheels. Just know the style # you are looking for and size etc.

Hey did i mention I like how the trim was painted silver?

You should try it ;) ... it will match your silver headlights ... if u want more pics for it send me a note

X5 Dawg.. She is coming together very nicely! I'm liking the look! Wheels are hawt! I'm feelin' some brushed Alum. Running boards....

...keep em coming! ...on to the next!!

RR:thumbup:

where did u get angels nice

Thanks - got them from jlevisw.com. Installed myself using "bake and break" method.

X5Dawg: That may be the most attractive style wheel BMW makes for the X5........ WOW! Wheels are total WIN. Next two mods: Remove roof rack and drop it like its hot.......trust me on this.......

I would definitely consider the drop if I still did not use mine for utility. I replaced my F150 Supercrew (which was lowered) with the X5 and a utility trailer. I need the X to be able to leave the pavement when desired.

Plus, if I lower it I wouldn't be able to drag the chipper around thru the woods!! :D
