Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 19inch style 128s off of the X3 that have the 46 and 51 offsets. My question is, does the high offset take away from the "concave" look of the wheels? I think it might, but have never seen the high offset ones in person. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Those wheels are on my list of potential wheels also. Take a look at my thread (pic #8)!

Yes, but there's much less concavity in X3 (ET46 and ET51) wheels, because of high offsets.
