Im looking for new rims for my car and am debating between 19 or 20, i dont want chrome, and nothing colored, any suggestions? I was looking at 19 in BMW 5-star rim (cant remember the # right now). I dont know what to do cause of my xi, ive been waiting a while and almost bought something from Quad-m but ended up procrastinating, thank god. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED

You need the correct offsets. The RWD rims will not fit the xi correctly. Do a search for "xi wheels" and you will find many topics.

Here's one thread:

Look for high/big offset number at ET35-ET40 are good range, xi basically uses E9x 3-series offset which open up a lot more choices.

I just got 19" Miro 346 (replica of BMW Style 167). They were inexpensive and look awesome.

Good that you did procrastinate! Some of us just went ahead and got scammed by Zafer Tamer, his real name by the way.

20" are way too big in my opinion--at least in areas that the roads aren't in pristine shape. 19" seem to be the best performance size from the looks of the members on the forum.....

GL in your search!

i had bought an m-tech package from him and was unhappy with the service. he had sent me the wrong bumpers, for a touring model, and insisted they were the right set, i had to paint two sets of bumpers and something that should have taken a couple days took a couple of weeks. And when i complained that i had to have both sets painted and demanded a discount for this he was crying poor and that he wasnt making any money on the deal so i shyed away

Well it depends on your budget as you can do anything from $700 replica CSLs to $5000 HREs

Here are a few of my favorite options:

Velocity Motoring 19" CSL Wheels



Velocity Motoring V710s



M6 Style Wheels



Beyern Mesh Wheel



Beyern 5
