Rim choice
Hey everyone. I am considering getting a new set of 18 rim mounted on the stock tires and then using the oems for winter set up.
I would like all of your opinions on my possible choices of rims. I have attached the photo of the rims I am considering. Please let me know which one you prefer. Thanks, I am just looking for opinions so please keep it civil. 1) Elbrius I07 Rims 2) American Racing AR900 Rims

This route would be cheaper and make me stand out different from the crowd. Lots of x3 where I live

I don't think the pictures do either of them any favours but they'll look better in less shiny real life. 5 spokes get my vote. Post some pics if you go ahead

Do you like something like this?
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price or http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price Personally I would get these because I believe Enkei to be a very reputable brand. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price Those are just some suggestions. If silver is more your color http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price |

I think I may just bite the bullet and get the Elbrius I07 mounted with X-Ice 3 225/50/18s. Its a very hard decision to make since its not somethign I can just return because I don't like and its not a cheap buy either lol

It strikes me that if you delete the Xline trim and roof rack (alternatively gloss black rack), going with all black wheels and grill should make you stand out a lot. Especially compared to the soccer mom part of the X3 population.

I also dislike the x-line trim but I had no other choice since I wanted the antracite head liner, sport seats and few other things part of the sport pkg :/

I'm not a fan of either. Here are the ones I have my eyes on.
20x8.5 and 20x 10 Eurotek U06 Matte black. Sorry for the gigantic photo. Couldn't figure out how to make it smaller. |

^ Those are pretty nice wheels. Should I go with 225 or 235 or 245 for the winter tire guys. I know stock for 18" rim is 245 but your supposed to go narrow for winter tires. 1010tire calculator says 225 is about a 2.5 difference which isn't a big deal. I am trying to make sure I order the right thing on my first try lol

Sorry for the crappy pictures but they are dirty now and I haven't gotten a chance to clean them and take pictures with my SLR.
