Going back to 19" wheels, best options?

Post by blackx5sport » Tue Aug 30, 2011 9:27 pm

Hi everyone,
didnt realise x5drivers was still running but inder a different name!

i have a set of 20" 7 spoke 4.8is style reps (good quality ones not cheese!) and want to go back to the 19" 5 spoke wheels as fitted standard and was wondering whats the best route?
do i try and find a set of 19"s and then sell my 20"s or could i get someone to do a deal if they want to upgrade bearing in mind the 20"s are worth a fair bit more than the 19"s

whats the concensus???

cheers.

Try the buy & sell option in the Forum. See what happens. Wheels come up quite often so you may find summat of use, or a willing buyer/exchange :D

Personally speaking I would see if you can source a set of 19"s and then offer your 20"s. Might save some logistical issues with one or both cars wheel-less ;)

You might be surprised to know that OEM 20" Style 168M are only about £200 more per set than OEM 19" Style 132, not a significant difference, and non-OEM I would not price anywhere near OEM. Just my own £0.02p worth of course. :)

Why do you want rid?

I've had many reps on various BMW's and would not value them near OEMs in a smaller size (assuming both sets are used and in ok condition).
