Thumbs up

Has anyone ever ordered a wheel or set of wheels from Finish Line Wheels (http://www.finishlinewheels.com/)?

I am in serious need of a set of winter wheels for my new X5 and am debating whether to order from these guys...

Anyone have any experience with them? Anyone?

they're useless. they list every single OEM wheel available as if they could actually get them, and then a week or so after you place your order and you don't hear back from them, you get an email along the lines of "we can't locate the wheels you ordered, the order has been cancelled and your card has not been charged." i've fallen for it twice now, because I completely forgot about them and did it again a year later.

You guys are the best. Thank you very much for the insight. Much appreciated!

Now I need to figure out another place to find cheap X5 wheels for winter...

So I just found a cheap set of 18's on TireRack for my X5 for Winter. And they're only $125/piece! Not bad. They're a 5 spoke design, which is a bit ghetto for me, but nothing a little powdercoating can't take care of.

Has anyone ordered from Finish Line Wheels?-elbrus_102_smic_ci3_l.jpg

These wheels won't fit the E70 X5. The center bore size on the E70 is smaller than the E53. Sucks! I found some great deals on E53 X5 wheels, but they won't work. On the other hand, if you have an E53 and want the newer, E70 wheels, you can slap on some hub rings and be all set. Sucks!
