Just in time for pothole patrol - get some wheel and tire insurance on those puppies!

Next recommendation is to order up the shadowline trim.

BMW makes a set of of staggered 124's for the XI models, so you don't have to worry.

Oh, and I had a staggered set on my old XI for years with no problems. Enjoy and congrats!

get another set of winter wheels with tires (or use your stock set) during pothole season. this season was one of the worst i've seen in years. my E60 hasn't traveled beyond a mile of my house this winter and my X is sticking with it's 18's and not getting it's 20's put back on, until every hole is filled.
