Oil tanker. Coming into Seattle for some repairs. The ship will be there about 3-4 weeks. I should be getting off for vacation around the 15th though, might be hanging out in Seattle for a day if I get time.

Thanks! I was just looking at new wheels for this ride...do you guys make replicas for the X5? I like the 20" style that BMW makes (but not the price) ....as a summer setup.

Unfortunately, no replica X5 wheels. As of right now, our 20" line up includes the V710 and V702. We should be offering another option in 20" sometime in the next few months

Will those 20's coming out in a few months be X5 reps or something different?

Does anyone know where to get X5 replicas in the 20" size?

Congrats! I love my X5d and I hope you will too.


JBD is a great mod for the Diesel!
I bought some 20" and 21" as well shortly after I got mine.

Sweet! Some fender flares and some OEM 20s and you'll be SET.

OEM 20" wheels are 20x10 and 20x11 in size. The extra width makes it necessary to extend the fenders out. Compare your X5 to these:

Just from pure speculation, I expect to see something more along the lines of a multi-spoke design

It's amazing how much difference a set of wheels and tires make. Takes the X5 from a pedestrian vehicle to a head turner!

Thanks, your car looks great! I agree with what you said on your thread, wheels and the burger tune are must haves!

The car gets here tomorrow...I'll post a couple pics when it does.

I had one exactly like that from the exterior except for the wheels. I now have a deep sea blue one. I have to admit the white on the E70 is the best IMO. I envy that color now

My father had a Deep See Blue and the colour was simply amazing... I'd trade my Alpine White for Deep Sea Blue all day!

Here's a photo of it before he got rid of it...

It's a nice color too and I love it. But White E70s tickle my fancy too man.
