Hi,

I am new to the forum and done some searches and wanted to verify if anyone has had any luck or feedback on 530xi rims. Being all wheel drive it has been fun trying to determine what would be best for me. I did come across 19 Inch CSL Wheels Rims using 8.5 Front and 9.5 Rear with ET35 Front and ET33 or ET40Rear and was wondering if these would work. If anyone could comment if this would work or if they have any ideas for similar rims if that is not the case. I do not wish to use any spacers or anything of the like. Thanks for any comments.

Rgds,
Mike

Go towards the back (past the M5 and X5 pix). You will see a ton of pix of my old, 2007 530xi with the wheels, lowering kit, body kit and everything else I did to that car. In my opinion, these wheels were the best set-up for the XI. Lowering it definitely helped too.

The CSL style wheel is what I went with and they work great!

The M5 wheels won't fit the XI and the replica's look TERRIBLE. Don't bother.

Just food for thought but I just shopped for rims for a 3 series and It worked beautifully! Trust me. We and the 3 series are the same. My rims are 20x8 and run great.
