Finally, OEM factory Y-spoke 214 wheels are on
 

Hi all! Finally, the OEM factory Y-spoke 214 wheels are mounted onto my 2001 4.4i X5. Only front wheels need hub centric rings, rear wheels are just fit, no spacers or hub centric rings needed for rear. Here are some pictures.

Looks great..Congrats!
You got some X6 spec wheels,since you only needed the hub centric rings for the front!

Wow... Wan Chai? I could I have missed your car? I was in the same area at the same!

Congrats on your new rims. What a great X'mas present ;-)

Can't imagine putting a sticker on my paint. But what kind of "Off-Roading" do you do in your X?

That's a lot of tissues man. haha

He does some serious off-roading.

Yeah, some of the pics were shot in Wanchai. Hopefully we coud meet by chance.

I will get those stickers off.

Yes, I do go serious offroading sometime with my X5. When I go offroading, I change wheel back to 17"s. You cannot imagine how good X5 handles serious offroading. Only deficiency is not-enough ground clearnce.

how much did you pay for the wheels and tyres? thanks

I was just making a personal observation. If you like the stickers - well it is your car.

a friend of mine who owns an x6 just changed to 21" wheels, he sold this set of wheels and tires to me at HK$20,000 (around US$2,600). This set of wheels an tires only runs more than 1000 Kms.

I know those stickers look bad, just want to please the chairman of the club.

I knew they had to be x6 wheels:D

214's original came from E70 X5 4.8

I believe for E70 X5 wheels he would need hub-centric rings in rear.

Thanks LemansX5.
I always try and double check my information before I post it and it was because Rogerkiu said he only fitted the hub centric rings on the front,that i assumed it must be X6:thumbup:

Yes, correct! But only for front, no need to rear.
