My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 525xi
Hey guys,
Want to upgrade the factory wheels on my 525xi with some other type of bmw rim if possible. Does anyone know what other bmw rims would fit with the xi model
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm kind of new to this site so sorry for the dumb question. Hope everyone had a nice holiday

OEM wheels are http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?mode...hg=36&fg=15 specific for 525xi model or you can also use E9x 3-series wheel they have a close (even perfect) offset.

Lots of xi owners these days looking to upgrade rims. My fingers are getting sore from typing and uploading pics.

Read ALL my posts on THIS thread:

And like everyone else said, search on my name on xi wheels and you will find a million posts about what xi wheels will work and what won't. However, I've pretty much summed it up on the thread that I gave you the link to, above. Read it and make sure you read ALL of my responses. I responded a few times on that thread.

I was actually hoping he was hurt worse (just long enough for the superbowl to be over)....he stinks! I want to see Leftwich play, and so do most of the people in this city.
So, where ya from....if you are a fan?
