Have you tried BMW on Amazon? I know these are available in the UK, but I am not sure about the US?

I finally put on the M performance black grill on my car on Tuesday after much trial and errors, and lots of bruises on my wrist/fingers. The car now looks meaner and sportier. I'll post the pictures later this week

The wheels are 20x9 offset 35 for the front, and 20x10.5 offset 38 for the back with 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 tires. The ride quality is unaffected to my surprise except slightly heavier steering.

Are they 310's?

Hey guys sorry about the late reply, I was away for a very long trip in Asia.

Avant Garde indeed is the maker. I did take a leap of faith after many researches about it on other members x3, and it turned out to be just great. While the offset is aggressive it doesn't affect the ride quality and fits fine.

Do you notice any shuddering when turning due to slight difference in tire diameter?

Not at all, I kept the tire diameter nearly identical to factory settings. To my surprise the ride remains comfortable and quiet. Going for a good set of quality tires really matters here. The steering wheel does feel slightly heavier but steady though.

Nice set up.

Im a late bloomer as I didn’t modify my 2012 X3 Mpkg when I bought it back Nov2011 as I dont want to void the warranty. Anyway, your wheels are nice! No spacers right? Are these offsets +35ET front and +38ET Rear enough to flush the wheels with the fenders? Hows the handling?

Thanks.
