Wheels/KW V3's installed
Pics on the alignment rack are after the KW V3's went on.
Pics on my driveway are on dinan springs. Custom ordered these wheels from Alibaba, send me a dm if you want more info, I don't want to step on the sponsors toes. Really happy with how they turned out. 21x9.5 +17 265 21x10.5 +29 295 Wheels are forged, and only cost $1548 shipped. The seller was great to deal with, turn around time was 1.5 months, but I opted for sea shipping since I was in no rush. Last edited by hybridel; 05-22-2024 at 10:44 PM.. |

Hot damn. Those wheels look good.
The vendors got an issue with free speech in this site? Hahaha. It’s not like you’re the one selling them and making profit without paying for the advertising fee on this site. It’s easy to tell because your post didn’t start with a weird AI/chat GPT story describing them. Are they the same wheels as specific or name brand? Nice ride and great stance.

There was an earlier Alibaba exhaust thread that got closed because the sponsors and dropshippers didn't want people to know who the suppliers were so that they could cut out the middleman.
Replica 827M CSL wheels. You can buy an OEM set from the dealer for $6500 The same wheels from a dropshipper for $5000 https://ind-distribution.com/product...gold-wheel-set Or go direct to the source and get them for $1548 shipped made to order with whatever specs you want.

Furthermore, IND does not sell reps they are genuine bmw. While the design may be the same, they are still reps and I don’t have any faults with them, just think you are making a bit of a stretch. But, that’s enough from me your car does look pretty great! |

Guess the #'s make sense, a local dealer quoted me $6500 CDN for those wheels, so $5000 USD adds up. Yes, they're replicas... but they're still forged. And even if something happens with them, I can buy 4 more sets and still come out ahead |

KW is sending a replacement strut, but I won't be reimbursed for the additional labour. These things happen, but my suggestion would be to open the box and inspect before the install. |

I thought those wheels looked like a BMW set. But about getting them from BMW or a BMW parts supplier; they don’t come in specs needed for the SUV right? The genuine BMW version is for the car, so hell yeah on getting replica set for X3M.

hybridel what was the cost of swapping, or more specifically what was the cost of getting the Dinan springs installed initially? I'm thinking of going with them, I'm in Ontario. What are you doing with your old Dinan springs?

The initial dinan install was also 8 hours labor. I was happy with dinan springs, but I ended up blowing one of the oem adaptive struts shortly after the install was done. BMW wanted $2800 plus labor to replace the strut, so I decided to upgrade to KW. |

It is found in the 'Sticky' section which most Sub-Forums have at the top of the first page you open - like a header so those threads can always be located at the top of the first Sub-Forum page. Easy to see on PCs, but on mobile phones you have to click on the radio button in the dark blue header above the regular threads, labelled 'Show Sticky Threads', then you can see them. The link I initially provided takes you right to it. You will be number 125, and I'll add you to the Wt N/A category to at least get your entry up there, but can edit and move if/when you provide the wheel weights. |

Looks awesome man. That bronze finish is a touch darker than the OEM color. But still pretty sick regardless. And just because a company that we've never heard of before says a wheel is forged, doesn't mean their products really are though. Trust but verify. Hope they hold up well & you enjoy them.

I kinda think they "were" made in same plant as higher cost branded wheels, but maybe were seconds or blems - that didn't cut it for branded. Also - remember, if you buy direct and there is an issue, you're likely screwed. Just me, but I'm way more likely to buy Taiwanese than Chinese. |
