Does BMW make any 19 inch wheels with offset and width within the parameters quoted above for the xi models?

I am not aware of any BMW 19 inch wheels that have the appropriate specs so, my wife and I have decided on Style 135 wheels for her 530xi with Aero Pack.

We have decided to mount Michelin Pilot Alpine tires on the stock wheels for witner use and mount the Style 135s with PS2 tires for summer use.

Now if the damn VPC would just finish installing the Aero Pack and then release the car, that would be great. It is now Day 10 at the VPC and counting. . . :thumbsdown:

Have also looked into rims for winter tires. Met with service advisor at Toronto BMW dealer and confirmed offset of XI is 43 instead of 20 for regular 5 series. Confirmed if you want OEM rims, you should order the ones with the offset specific to the XI. Their are far fewer OEM rims available for the XI. The dealer can print you a list of these rims.
