^^^^ Nice ferric gray 20's!! told you it would look good than the silver ones

Thanks. I did get them off ebay. seller's name is: toomucheffort. I had them refinished locally.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between staggered and non staggered.?

staggered - rear wheels are wider than front wheels.
non-staggered - all wheels(front & rear) have the same width.

Aaah.

Thats it ha.. The rear rim is wider then the front one..

Been wondering a while about that..:)

Anyone know what the offset on the 18" 87 style rims are.?

Also, if buying staggered rims, will the tires be aligned on the outside or the inside.?

They fit e53
 

I have a 2005 and just curious if the wheels you bought from Power Wheels Pro came with everything you needed to install on your e53.

Also I'm assuming the stock tires will fit these rims correct?

dumb question
 

what is the term ( per-facelift )? it is in reguards to the headlight and brake lights. i have been reading and alot of it is per facelift mods. i have a 2003 x5 4.4 the production date is 11/2002 if mine per face lift?

Rabbit, it is not "per" it is "pre" which means before facelift ... this applies to all X5s from first production until 2004 I guess ... you can easily know coz the front of the pre-facelifted cars is completely different than the facelifted ones ... check the pics below:

They align from outside

Yes, they come with everything including centre caps & the hub centric rings to fix the E53's

I prefer the 214's over the '87's because it's the new look for the ungraded E70's. When I upgrade to an E70 I will take these wheels and put them on my new car. I don't believe you can't do this with the 87's or the cheese chrome plated ones shown earlier on this train.

I'm also running Vredestein Ultrac SUV Sessanta Tires (staggered set - 275/40/20 & 315/35/20). Paid ~$850 including shipping, from got3bay on eBay - see eBay Motors: Four VRedestein Tires (2) 275/40/20 , (2) 315/35/20 (item 120386462579 end time Mar-12-09 23:40:47 PDT) - best looking/best performance tires IMHO!!
