The most hideous BMW wheel I have ever seen

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.

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!

Reckon they look fine and easy to clean, better than a lot of the rubbish fitted now.
