unless you powdercoat them. did you see kings x5 with the powdercoated 209's? they look like 19's and much better than the silver. you should consider. what did you pay for your 209's?

i got your PM. let me know what garry says. i need to make my purchase first thing tomorrow morning.
I just looked at kings X...hmmm. That does look 100% better powdercoated. I found my 209's on craigslist. I only paid $1K for the set that included new all season runflats. I couldn't pass on the deal since it was so cheap.

I just sent you a PM. Garry is "unavailable" in meetings all day today.

I know the guy you bought them from. Right now, just for wheels, I'm looking at $1200 for the 209's. Sucks. These aftermarket wheels would cost me around $600, which is why I might go that route.

I like those TSWs the best so far.
I went with OEM (210's) after all the back and forth. I decided to dish out the extra $1000 (including high gloss black powdercoating). For one, I don't have to worry about hub rings and boring out the center bore. And two, I figured I could sell these wheels once I'm done with the X5 in 3 years and still make back a decent amount of my money. So with that, I bit the bullet and coughed up the extra dough to have OEM wheels. I get them Friday and they go straight to the PC place.

Thanks for everyones input. I guess this poll was a waste. LOL!

PS - I ordered from Tisher this time, not Newport and got an amazing deal. I highly reocmmend Evan at Tisher.

These are the 209's powdercoated black on another members car on X5world. The 210's are actually bit more aggressive and nicer looking, so i think it should look great, once mounted. if you didn't know any better, you wouldn't think those are 18's. i think the car will look pretty good for winter. however, not having that 315 in the rear is going to suck. oh well.

I asked for pics of the 210 and you posted a pic of the 209??? Saying that the 210s are more aggressive doesn't mean shit to me. I should slap you silly.

Based on that chart the 212's and 239's look the best IMHO
