Those are fairly popular wheels around these parts - style 215. I'm probably one of the few that doesn't think too highly of them. And I don't like black wheels either. But they are 21" OEM wheels

I'm with jiggz not a fan of the black wheel.

Cannot beat OEM wheels. And although the tires for them are pricier than 20" or 22" wheels, I like the look. Saw thesw black style 215s on an Alpine White X5 recently and although some might say the look is "played out", it did not look half bad.

Check the selection and prices for new 21" tires. This will explain why so many cheap used 21" wheels are for sale.

If you really like the wheel style save yourself some money and get these:

Stay clear of 21" wheels regardless of cost or style. Tire choices are limited, expensive and you might feel guilty passing them off on another unexpecting buyer.

Not a fan of expensive cast OE wheels. Go forged or go home

Looks like a fair price, and I like them because they are 21 inch in size.

As a mechanical engineer I completely agree. These are heavy, high-performance vehicles. The loads on these wheels is insanely high.

Personally I am a big fan of HRE.

Yeah 21" tires are stupid expensive. Get aftermarket 22" or OEM 20s
