21" BMW OEM Star Spoke Alloys & Run Flats for sale

Genuine OEM 21" BMW Star Spoke staggered alloys and Dunlop SportMaxx Run Flats - in very good condition - no curbing just a few light marks and small bit of lacquer peel in places - but overall look stunning on the car. Have recently had 22" alloys fitted so the 21" wheels and tyres are taking up ...

Re: Black alloy refurb

I have just recently removed my 21" BMW OEM Star Spokes and replaced them with 22" X6M reps. I was very close to painting them a gloss or even a matt black but I worried the car would look too "gangsta" and my wife, who mostly drives the X5, would not have been overly impressed. So I opted for a ...

New 22" Alloys & Tyres Fitted

I finally took the plunge and fitted the 22" alloys and new tyres. Shame they are not as nicely staggered as the 21" Star Spokes, although they are still staggered. I also had them powder coated in a specific gunmetal grey so they blend in a little more. I am not 100% happy with my choice but they ...

Re: Spacers Advice for 21" Star-Spoke 128 Alloys

Well, I didn't get any response to this question so I decided to go for 15mm front and 25mm rear. I have also ordered a set of H&R springs - so they will all be fitted hopefully next week.

Spacers Advice for 21" Star-Spoke 128 Alloys

I have a set of genuine 21" BMW Star-Spoke 128 alloys fitted to my E70 X5 and I am wanting to bring them out a little more to fill the arches but I am not sure what size spacer I should go for front and rear. I believe the offsets are as follows: Front - 10 x 21 with ET 40 Rear - 11.5 x 21 with ET ...

Re: FS: E70 X5 214 Y-Spoke 20" Alloys & Bridgestone RFT's

You wont like this - but im considering 22" gun metal crab claws - appreciate not many people agree or like the idea of 22" on these cars but i think they can carry them and i dont mind the way it effects ride comfort etc. In an ideal world i would put some 21" V-spokes but i just cant find any and ...
