Ordered 20" wheels "NEW PICS!"

Iīve ordered 20" wheels (M Double Spoke 310) for my 20d. I hope they will look good. Unfortunately Iīve bought the 19" 309 for the winter and I have the 19" 369 for the summer. Should I keep the 369 or 309 for the winter??

(I will post pictures when i get the new wheels)

FINALLY SOME PICS! Iīm so happy I ordered them The pictures doesnīt make them justice, looks much much better in real life...

Keep whichever one you find easiest to keep clean.

I would sell both and buy smaller rims for winter with narrower tires that have taller sidewalls.

The 309 looks great and are easy to clean, that would be my vote.

I vote for the 369 on the MSport if you are keeping a 19 for winter.

Really look forward to seeing pictures with your 20"'s.
I too got the M 19"s and feel they look too small but also worried 20" will also be small. The wheel arches on the MSport are huge.....

Are the tires a lower profile for the 20" wheels?

Just over 3.300€ on ebay.de (= 30.800 SEK).

I hope you didn't pay full Swedish list price?

Does the rolling diameter change with the 20" or do they come with a lot lower profile tires? There still seems to be a lot of room around the wheel arches. Looks great for a dark colour like yours, but worried they will still look small on white

These are 20" on an M Sport white at the Paris motor show

http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showth...ris+motor+show

Same rolling diameter as far as I can see.

My ideal setup would be a mix of M sport front and back and SE sides because you need dark wheel arches with the X3's wheels. I much prefer the side profile of the SE to the M Sport in any colour except black. The SE angle at the bottom compliments the sculpting on the side panels too like this



rather than this



Just my opinion and many people will disagree

I didn't realise you'd added the pictures to the first post. Was going straight to the bottom! Looks awesome. Very good decision.

Nice pics! Looks like those wheels have a lot of subtle detail that won't show up on pics - I bet they look amazing in person!
