I drive the X6 into the City on occasions and I'm also concerned with the size of the wheel and the lack of rubber between the wheel and the pot holes!

I went with a 265/35 tire for this reason....to get a bit more sidewall and rubber. I also don't like the rubber band look of ultra low profile tires.

I have to assume these replicas are cast. They are significantly lighter weight than the OEM 19" wheels however.

I have getting the wheels powder coated a slightly lighter shade of gray. They were essentially metallic black, which looks hot, but a bit too aggressive for my daily driver.
