The most hideous BMW wheel I have ever seen

Post by RenoHuskerDu » Wed Dec 02, 2015 7:35 am

I'm trying to trade off the 19s that came with the 3.0d facelift I just bought.  A French guy wanted to trade me these, says they came on his X5.

I really have never seen a more unattractive wheel on a BMW.  In addition, he was running cheap Chinese tyres on them, which I call rim protectors.  No deal, Francois. ;-)

:puke:

Yikes!
Looks like one of those plastic stencils you have with kids colouring sets! A good deterrent for thieves though...

They were standard on the original X5 SE model. I brought a set of them of eBay to use as winter rims but never put them on the car.

Those wheels definitely look strong...

As for their aesthetic beauty....
I remember seeing an episode of "Last of the Summer Wine" & a picture of Nora Batty on Compo's  table..... Good God Man - she was so Ugggleee - about as Ugly as those wheels..

But hey, Ideal as winter wheels or weekend Off-Roading wheels that may take a bashing...
And remember... everything looks good in the DARK lol

They remind me of how Butt-Ugly my ex wife is ......... ha ha ha

I think the allure of Ms Batty was that she always wore stockings  ::)

Hopefully your ex does not read your posts X5-D-Sport Salisbury or you will be getting a piece of coal in your stocking!
