Wife thinks I've lost the plot....wheels related.

I already have more wheels than anyone should but have just bought another set.

Plans are to run these through winter 2019/20 and quite likely swap the rims to summer tyre use thereafter. I've been on the lookout for some OE black rims for a while now but stumbled on these by pure chance. Regular 10 & 11" 20s but with a typical aggressive ACS look. Just refurbished, new centre caps, 100% genuine (from the ACS UK importers). New cost £3400 without tyres

Needless to say, i paid somewhat less

The trouble I found with ACS wheels, I fitted some to my E60 5 series after I discovered
3 out of my 4 OEM rims were buckled , this only showed up when I went to non Runflats.
They make your discs and Calipers look naff and lost in the gaps.
So next mod will have to be a Brembo large brake kit and drilled discs. £££££££

A brake upgrade is not going to happen. Unnecessary at the very least

I'm aware ACS stuff has smaller looking hubs but the rims are no bigger and although there will be more disc on show I don't think they'll look lost, X6 discs are hardly small.

They arrive on Monday. If the weather's nice I may try a rear 'just because'

Oh well, purchase aborted.

It seems ACS wheels require longer bolts which were included but still needs a dedicated locking bolt set. They were subsidised to £65 but that's crazy stuff and an additional cost i wasnt expecting. Deal has now been cancelled, which is disappointing.
