Hello and help with wheels!

c52k · 11-14-2011, 11:11 PM

Hi all,
i'm a new BMW owner. Just got out of a 2010 S4 and got in to a 2012 X5M. So far am loving it. Don't intend to do a ton of mods to it, just got my LUX Angel Eyes and also am looking for a set of wheels. What I think i'll do is put winter tires on my factory wheels and buy a set of new wheels/tires for the dry season.
I'm going nuts looking at wheels trying to imagine what would look good.
Any suggestions on good sites to see wheels and merchants you would recommend?

Thanks!

Very nice wheels, are the AC Schnitzer ones...at least here in Europe are very highly rated, as Schnitzer is one of the best BMW tuners. Quite expensive though. On the same league (not as expensive though) are Alpina wheels....for me one of the best looking wheels on any BMW.

Other option, are wheels from reputable tuners, such as Hartge, Hamann, G-Power. Then you could go down the BMW Performance route and get some beautiful BMW Performance wheels.
