They're gunmetal with a machined face, I got them from modbargains.com. The only other colors I've seen are all black and all silver

Love the wheels, thinking about going with the same ones.

How is the ride on those M6 replica's?? Any issues with having/keeping them balanced? What tire sizes did you go with front/rear?

Ride is great, feels like stock and no issues with the wheels so far

clarka,

Are your winter tires 18"?

I like the look of your wheels. Can you list make, model and vendor for them?

Our winter rims finally arrived and were installed today. We are very happy with the look. So happy, we are not looking forward to putting them away in the spring!

I'd like to get the 5 spoke wheels in silver...

anyone put factory M220s on their x3? I got a set sitting around and my mom is picking up her new x3 soon.

I searched and found a couple pictures of people with non-oem wheels.
Anyone else? Please post what you have! For me I don't know if I want to spend $3000+ on a set of OEM. Looking for a set of 18" to mount some winter tires.

Let see yours!

Here´s mine: 18" MAK Bimmer Silver + Nokian Hakkapeliitta R

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is the same but the hub is slightly larger on the X3 then say a 3 series. I don't have the dimensions on hand but I know they are on the mod bargain website. You can use hub rings to go from larger to smaller but obviously not smaller to larger.

Here's my winter set up - 17" Rial Salerno wheels with WS-70 Blizzaks. I'm surprised how small the wheels look in the photos, but I like the clean design.

Just wonder what is the size of this 17" (225/60/17), and are you having the 28i or 35i.... ?? I try to get some idea if I should go for 17" or 18"... thanks

Winters on.


(crappy phone pic, sorry)

just got the new winter set up on...

Looks nice.. what are the tire size??

Thx. Tires are 235/55/R18. Within 2% of stock diameter, so they work.

Sorry for poor quality iphone pic.

Enkei rims is satin silver finish originally. I just sprayed black Plasti-dip on it for fun. It looks good with my AW Msport trim. Also I put black carbon fiber sticker on the Enkei hub cap.

Looks good, like to see the entire X3 and wheels!
