Summer Rims
I'm currently looking for new rims for my X3.
I was thinking about: OZ ITALIA 150 GRAPHITE or MOMO Revenge Anthracite Matt will they play with space gray color? Thanks for comments ! |

After intense thinking throughout the winter, I decided to get a 20" staggered setup from Kelleners Sport in matt black with a polished front. I really like the bi-color look on a black car
Quite happy with the offset (front 9x20 ET 35 and rear 10x20 ET 40), as they fill out the wheel-wells quite good. Last edited by atrueb; 05-20-2014 at 05:36 PM.. |

I got my set at the Swiss dealership for Kelleners Sport:http://www.kelleners-sport.ch/de/. I also saw them on ebay.de for a better price, but here in Switzerland you need the paperwork from the dealer/garage to get the wheels streetlegal for your car, so I needed to buy and install them from a proper dealer/garage, who will sign the papers accordingly.... the Swiss Department of Transportion is extremely strict.
Regarding your question on the 19" 255x40: The 19" will perhaps - in theory - perform a bit better than the 20" because of the lower weight of rotating mass when accelerating (under the assumption that 20" wheels + tires are heavier than 19"). However the 20" just look so much more better in my opinion. Under the following link, you will find a guy in Japan, who put 19" Kelleners on his X3: http://www.fujicorporation.com/eng/s...26504&detail=1 It sounds stupid, but that additional 1" visually makes the world of difference between "nice" and "niiiice". Furthermore the 19" wheels come in 8.5 and 9.5 width, so you'll have to figure out yourself which wheels will look better with the 255 tires. If you have the M-Sport package, then the plastic part of your fenders will be a tiny bit wider, so you may want to choose the wider wheels especially on the rear. I also wanted the 19" at first because of the lower price, but I am soooo glad that I spent the extra cash for the 20". I would really suggest that you also get the 20" instead. And if you are a bit "crazy" like me, then also get the 245 and 275 combination. They will fit perfectly and give your x3 a more aggressive look. However one important thing to keep in mind is, that the 275 rear tires will increase traction, but also add some roll-resistance, so acceleration MIGHT be affected. Then again, the choice of tires, pressure and some other factors may influence the acceleration anyway. Let us know, what you decide and post some pics of your new setup;-)

Nope not lowered. Thinking of changing to the updated version (GTS-2). Slightly different with some subtle detail additions.

I went 245/40/20 now running Continental DW's which have a decent width. 255 width square should work. Of course staggered you can go up to a 275 rear. For sure, I'll let you know if I decide to sell the GTS 's
