No problems or issues at all mate, I am more than happy with my choice to put 21's on my X5.
No noticable additional mess or road grime but the car is black and the roads are pretty good where I live, I also personally have no problem with the Pirelli runflats which I know get a bad rap.

Re: Swapping 19" to 21" wheels query
20190620_172221.jpg 20190620_172234.jpg 20190609_144322.jpg The wheels are fairly easy to clean, it's the sides and back of the car that takes the time. Can you post a couple of before and after pictures of your car, as potentially looking to go the other way to 19" or perhaps 20" wheels to see if ...

They have had several customers disregarding their advice and they have failed the mot due to this . Some mot ...

Re: Swapping 19" to 21" wheels query
Cheers mate, hoping to put these on my X5 tomorrow, think they are going to be a nightmare to clean but look great on your X5.
Will put up pics when fitted and think I will be giving the arch extenders a miss.

Re: Swapping 19" to 21" wheels query
A picture of them fitted on my x5, with the same wheels as you are looking at. Have noticed with the 21" wheels a lot of muck and tar etc gets thrown up on the sills and bottom of the doors, so looking at if its possible to fit mud flats, alternatively may look at doing the opposite to you and move ...

Re: Swapping 19" to 21" wheels query
No mate, I was dealing with Ian and in fairness he was really good with everything and send me the info he had but still nothing clear regarding fixing and what they actually achieve. I was hoping someone had actually installed these and could have uploaded a picture but any info you can find out ...

Hi, I thought the same but the BMW sales assistant wouldn't sell the wheels without them.
