Guest Simon* Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Am I allowed to say I don't like them? Just my opinion - they look too big on a non-kitted X5 and a little weird like a giant snowflake. Do however like the 3.0TD X5's they rock. Enjoy! Oh and are we taking bets on how long you'll keep it? I say 3 months Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 haha, nah, I'm keeping this, can't afford to put that amount of wheels on the car and sell in 3 months mate, 12 months atleast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Looks good. I am going to put it out there and say with the color of your car they would look slightly better maybe gun metal or dark metallic silver nice work though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Looks good. I am going to put it out there and say with the color of your car they would look slightly better maybe gun metal or dark metallic silver nice work though It is a gunmetal, the pics don't really do it justice really, it was quite sunny when I took those snaps. It looks dark in some lights & light in others with the metallic. This is what it looked like... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingkarl 136 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 DEFINITELY an improvement. I'm used to seeing those wheels on the latest model X5 (E70?) so I kind of prefer them on those. I reckon they'd look a bit cooler if you got them painted a darker grey/gun metal colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Noooooooo, no paint LOL! They do look alot better in person, I just went outside to grab my wallet (mrs wants some money ffs) It's given it a tougher stance. The wife, who walked past it before hasn't even noticed... I do remember telling her I'm sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted February 25, 2010 Can see where you are coming from with description but to be honest - with respect - I prefer the originals - albeit maybe bigger rim version & shallower tyre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeveus 81 Report post Posted February 28, 2010 Looking at those pics it just doesn't look as good as it does walking up to it, I've had a few comments from people outside my shop & customers already asking what width the rear tyres are & how good they look on it. How much wider can you go? Is 315 about it for an SUV? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenetti 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2010 I go away for a week and look what happens! Did you pay $3200 with your existing wheels as a trade? Did they use then new Sport Truck II's on the wheels? 315 is the recommended width for the rear and should be 275's up front. We sell 9.5" front and 10.5" rear which is what the Sportpacs come out with factory. The wheels do look much better in the flesh so to speak! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 Hey there. We're a bit far away for you guys here in Dunedin, otherwise I would have used you guys. I've got the same wheels as you had on that MK1 E53 315 on the back 275 on the front, the thing hugs the road better than my old GTS Commodore, without a word of a lie. I've paid $3200 with wheels & tyres, fitted & balanced, they were going to trade my old ones for $500 but I've decided against it & I'm going to list them on TradeMe very soon @ $1 reserve. I hope to get about $800ish for my old ones as the tyres are 7mm & the rims are A1. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
