Would prefer 18" wheels, but will consider any BMW wheels that are suitable.
Pm please if you either have, or know anybody that has a set for sale.
Cheers

I have a set of 18s with Nokian tyres (Russian made and loved by the Scandinavians). They are excellent in the snow but do show their limits early if pushing on in the corners on wet, damp days. I am looking to get a set of dedicated X6 19s for the winter and will consider selling but will need to get the 19s sorted first. The tyres are non run flat and have only had a few thousand miles of use so like new.
If you are interested let me know and I'll sort some fresh pictures.
The tyres have tyre magic in them, meaning punctures up to 6mm will be instantly fixed.

I've got some 19" genuine wheels and normal tyres. No dents or kerbing, tyres all ok. How much are they worth ? I only use them in the snow.

Do the X6 wheels fit the E70? Are they the same spigot size ?

That will be your problem unless they are X5 wheels that Don bought and adjusted it on his side.

They are indeed X5 wheels and I have used a couple of spigots for the rear hubs as they are smaller on the X6. So to confirm, they are a straight fit for the X5.
mogsyman I'm away for a long weekend, but will get the wheels out early next week and take a full set of photos for you. As for price, £500 +p&p (which is going to be about £80 but we can sort something out).
