what do you think guys?
 

20" BMW X5/X6 Style 214 Staggered wheels. E70, E71, E53: eBay Motors (item 230501292599 end time Jul-24-10 14:57:59 PDT)

all the spec seems to be be a perfect fit for x53.

just from opening the link i see the same rims cheaper. My buddy has those for his white 4.4 E53. Make sure u use the hubcentric rings.

anybody else? pros and gurus in wheels??? also members with experience in replcas... thanks

My honest opinion is that they do not look like a BMW product, personally I would not buy them. Sorry!

what do u mean they don't look like the BMW 214's? they look pretty damn close to me.

lol.

these are replicas...

anybody else? i know there are tons of guys with replica experience and wheel gurus here.

i have had 2 sets, a set of 19" M6 reps and 18" 4.6 reps for snows and had no problems. My boy has the 20" 214 reps on his 4.4 and has also had no problems. I haven't heard any complaints on this forum with reps and there are a lot out there. just make sure u buy from a good seller.

mywide, can you tell me where your son bought the 214 reps?

How long have you and your boy had them for?

my boy means my friend. I have had the 18's for 3 years. the are what i use in the winters. My M6 reps were on my e46 for 3 weeks before some one totaled it. My friend has had his for a year no problems.

lake shore wheel and tire. if om not mistaken there is a new sponsor that also carries them. They have an ad in the upper right. i would see what kind of deal they would give for being a member first. I think its king detail.

i pmed the detail king and he doesn't have these specific wheels. :(

hey buddy, i bought the same rims from that seller and from ebay also. They work just perfect and saved a load of money. Go for it!!!

were they balanced? how long have you had these wheels now?

...:thud:

juppalgae, since your inbox is full, heres the PM

Hey,

I didnt run my tires year round; but, i know people who did run them on 20" wheels and said they handled great in the snow. I wouldn't go exploring ski slopes in them--but they can definitely get you around in the winter without a problem.

thanks naz. your 20 wheels are factory or replica wheels? what about winter wheels?

I bought aftermarket TSW rims, they are holding up great. in the winter i put my stock 18s back on, i'm going to wait until the Michelin MXV4s wear out on my stock and then buy snows for them

tsw good wheels?

do they offer the proper spec including the offset for e53?

I have replicas wheels on my wife's 325xi (winter tires). Absolutely no problems with them and much less expensive. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the company I bought them from but it was off of ebay.

Jupp, what color is your X? I've posted a pic in the past of a white E70 with 22" Y-Spoke wheels and it looks awesome. Between Lakeshore Tire & Wheel and Detail King, those $800 something single wheel prices on eBay are stupidly high. I'm still hoping DK eventually puts up some pics of those X6M wheels to so we can see how well the offset sits with the edges of the fenders. Getting an offset that lines the wheels up perfectly flush with the fenders is my biggest concern.

i wouldn't go with 22. personally think 22 way out of proportion on e53. maybe for bigger suvs like cadillacs.

id usually agree, but since they were a factory looking Y spoke, it looked like it belonged vs any other aftermarket wheel of some other design.
