I was looking on eBay for wheels that would fit an 08 535xi. I know the offset is what needs to be taken into account, but I was going to try and search by the Style number. The thing is, I don't know how to narrow my search results to just "xi" models. What are some specific things to type in the search on eBay? I tried the obvious like "wheels for 535xi" or "bmw xi wheels" "BMW AWD wheels" and all other silly variations of it. So I'm sure I'm going to have to search by style number.

I would go to realoem and tirerack first... then search ebay.

You won't find anything on eBay specific to the xi except maybe some CSL's or Miro's. I wouldn't bother checking there, at least not until you know what you want.

Do some searching on here first and foremost.

I wouldn't search for wheels for my BMW on EBay. My two sources would be tirerack and Trinity. They know what fits your car, can help you choose something to fit your price range and save you a TON of aggravation. There is a lot of junk out there when it comes to wheels. Do a search on "vibration" to get an idea...

eBay and Craigs List are AWESOME places to shop for wheels. I have gotten some pretty sweet deals doing so. That said you need to know what you are looking for and you need to ask all the right questions. If you go into any deal blind be it eBay or any place else, you are asking for "aggravation". Do you research, know what fits and go shopping.

Ebay and CL work if you know exactly what you are looking for. Typically for the Xi models, people do a non staggered setup but you can do a staggered setup if you prefer the wider rear look. We have the Velocity and Miro wheels in the right sizing for the Xi in either staggered or non staggered and can be packaged with tires so it's a ready to go setup. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about sizing.
