Wheels again - Help with choice please

[NewX5]

Hi everyone this has been covered a few times for myself. I know have a few choices of wheels and just thought I may ask your advice, my original favorite wheels where always the 214 style wheel but I have recently seen the 337 style and think they look the business. Anyway on my search for a rear wheel 337 to complete set I was offered, I have been offered the 214 style complete set with tyres which I am not fussed about as I will change them for rft's, I would not of given 214 a thought but I have seen another E70 today Carbon Black with these wheels in Black not sure if 21 or 20 but the car looked really cool. Now I am looking at £650 all in for the 214 and between £1000 - £1500 for the 337 without tyres.

I intend to get the 214 repainted if I purchased in carbon black so will most probably be another £200 and just wanted to know what you guys think and also is £650 a good price for 214 style used wheels.

I bought a brand new set of unused Style 258 staggered from a BMW Dealer which were unwanted parts on a new X6 and paid £500 inc tyres. That might give you a starting point. I fitted the tyres from these wheels to our E53 and fitted Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow Winter tyres to the 258s replacing the 214s which will be for warmer weather use.

Wow thats an excellent price from the main dealer does that mean I am paying to much for mine?

[X5Sport]

Not sure. I think they just wanted rid of them, and as I has just bought a new E71 and mentioned winter tyres they made me an offer. The list price was about £2,800. If the wheels and tyres are in perfect condition I would not quibble the price you have been offered. A new set if rubber will be somewhere around £800 to £1,000 depending on what you want for good quality, cheaper if you're not bothered.

You could always use my price as a bargaining chip........

Hard to tell by just looking at the wheel as oposwd to seeing pics with wheels on car,but i think the 214's look much better and they are cheaper which is a bonus.Avtar has them on his e70 and they look great i like the idea of the carbon look aswell
Out of interest why would you change the tyres to runflats? do you have a spare/space saver?

No spare or space saver as have seven seats so need that system unfortunately.

I have to say I like the style 337 wheels these where std on the 10 year edition and look very smart IMO

I'm getting confused by all these new wheels

Ideally I would have had the same as Jalf's X6 in the smoked chrome or whatever it is but don't really want to go to 21s

Now fancy FL M sport ones 333?

Also quite like the 337s - are they FL SE dynamic upgrade option?

Sure I've seen some like that but not quite !

[Jalf]

The 337 ones look like the ones in the performance upgrade wheels which are 21s too I think

That could be it - saw them in the brochure too

But this says 20"

I think they must do both possibly.

I dont think those are original?

I received the 214 style wheels today with tyres about 4mm all round excellent condition - grand price of £550 INC delivery. I am not exactly sure on what I am going to do but most probably will end up getting them body coloured like I had seen. Tempted to put me them on prior to see how they look just a bit time consuming thats all, I must say am a weak sod really struggled to lift one of those wheels.
