Thanks, Wheels were ordered from Wheeloutlet SD on Ebay.
The fit is great the quality is good so far. The reason I chose to go with a replica wheel is because it is almost next to impossible to find an 11 inch wide rear rim without moving up to a forged wheel... as we all know once you go forged you are also spending a couple thousand more. I didn't want to break the budget... but I also wanted to preserve the wide stance that an X5 is known for. Fitment is: 22 x 10 and 22 x 11 Offset is: +40F and +35R I opted to go with the Lexani LX Thirty Tire... say what you want but here is my reasoning. 1. I have a 2003 Porsche Turbo with Michelin Pilot Sport tires... If I want performance I will drive my Porsche. 2. Lexani Tires are rebranded Nexens. I have had Nexen Tires on a Cadillac Escalade with 24 inch rims and I was pleasantly surprised by the durability and lifespan of the tire in the past. 3. There are very few options in a 295/22 and a 335/22 tire other then Pirelli and maybe one other brand... 4. I like the fact that if I blow a tire it will only cost me 150 - 200$ to replace. So far I am very happy with the performance of the tire. They run very smooth when compared to my old 20 Inch Dunlop Run Flats... Even with less tire... the ride does not seem as rough as it was with the run flats... I did not install TPSM sensors because I learned a little trick with my old bmw 335. If you install tires/rims without sensors your truck will produce an error code within a few minutes of having the new tires/rims installed. However if you manually reset the computer through the vehicle settings the error code will go away and you will not have an error code come back up. My experience is that if the computer realizes that there are no TPSM sensors installed the computer does not produce a fault... but you will have to reset the system with no sensors installed to achieve this outcome. It worked on my 335 as I ran after market wheels with no TPSM sensors and never received an error code and so far it has worked on my X5 and I have put about 500 miles on the new tire/wheel combo so far. |

The reason I sprung for these wheels is becahse it was either replace the existing oem runflats for around 1400-1500 or pay a few bucks more and get something a little more fancy.

I got them done @ Indy's 101 Customs in Scarborough.
I had the fenders, bumpers, running boards, aero kit painted body colour and the tail lights tinted. All sanded smooth as well so the texture was gone. It wasn't cheap, cost me about $2300 all in |
