Post up pics of aftermarket wheels!

i can't for the life of me find any good pics of new x3's w/ aftermarket wheels

i'm looking to get some staggered 20" VRM V710's but trying to get an idea of other wheels/tires on other peoples to see what size tires and what offset i want to go with

hmm, i am thinking about getting 1 set of 20" VMR staggered setup as well. I believe that will look shinning. mikeith, do you know if VMR wheels have the right sizes like bolt, offset and etc for F25? Will they work on an X3?~

yes i spoke with VMR yesterday. they dont recommend doing staggered because of it being AWD but all that matters is overall diameter. i'm going 20x9 and 20x10 35 offset on both.

front tires will be 245/45-20 and rear will be 275/40-20 to get a 1" larger overall diameter look! i think it will be nice looking!

Excellent! Excellent! Thanks very much for you update from VMR. If that works, it will be a much better looking and cheaper 20" wheel setup than the BMW M double-spoke 310 which costs over 5K... It is true that M double-spoke 310 wheels with 245/40-20 front and 275/35-20 in those pictures still look small somehow. Hope your bigger tires will look nicer.
And, what color of the VMR V710's are you getting mikeith? and what color of your X3 is?
Mine is Alpine white and thing about getting matte black V710's

its a alpine white one as well. going to go with gunmetal. ive had alot of cars with black wheels and while black wheels look great in pictures in person anything further than 20-30' its hard to even tell any detail on what the wheels look like so it makes them less appealing to me. and matte black wheels look dirty all the time

Mikeith, noticed you are selling your oem 369 wheels. Wondering have you got ur VMR wheels or not. Hope you can share some pics. I still can't decide which color of v710 to go for. Matte black or gunmetal, hard to choose!

I just put 20s on my x3 and really like the look. The wheels are Lorenzo's. I posted a pic a few threads down if you want to check it out .
