Hello,

I have found a heck of a deal on a set of 20" OEM Cross Spoke Style 101s off a 7er.

I really like the "mesh" look but am concerned they might look a little "busy". I am currently running 19" Style 125s.

They will be going on a Black 545i Sedan with a trinity front bumper.

Opinions?

Tom

If it's a heck of a deal, then go for it.. because there are so many spokes, they do look a little busy in my opinion

I think it was a heck of a deal. $1500 with OEM 7er tires (pilot primacy) with 85%+ tred remaining. I will have to sell the tires since they are too big, but I think it was a good deal for a $5K set of wheels and tires.

Thoughts?

we have them on one of our e65s. they are stunning in person. i don't find them busy, especially since the lug bolts and alignment holes are covered up by the center caps.

how much would you want for the tires and where are you located?

I am located in San Diego. Funny that the wheels and tires are actually coming from Miami (Ft Laud). I will wait and see their exact condition and remaining tread and then I could ship em back to you. If they werent already in route I could have had them delivered to you. Bummer. I would think they would fetch $500+ bucks/maybe more seeing as they are 350+ea new.
