Um....no deep dish rims work. You need higher offsets. Try searching....topic discussed ad nauseum.

Deep dish is for pizza not an xi!!

Decide on the "look" you're going for. I did CSLs for mine. My preference is for the 'classic' BMW look.

Check out DPE, HRE, Vossen, Klassen and so forth - basically, you'll get those rims made to your specs, so they can theoretically have any offset and any lip you want. We've got quite a few vendors on the forum, who offer great deals on either.
