E70 LCI wheels on E71?

Post by snipez999 » Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:16 pm

Wondering if the type 223s would actually fit my X6 40d with use of spigot rings on the one axle. Anyone?
Looking at winter wheel set and there are a couplee of candidates on Fleabay ;-)
Here's the technical on them: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_al ... _wheel_442

I can't see why they would not fit as long as you used the correct rings.

I have a set of staggered Style 258s as my Winter set, and Style 214s as the Summer ones. I wanted a set of 215s but BMW wanted silly money for those. :o. And I'm not certain the Ferric Grey works with Vermilion Red :? Black certainly doesn't.

Oh and welcome to the Club. X6 40d Ownes are rare here and I think the others are jealous..... :) :poke: :driving: Go introduce yourselfand your ride in the Newbies section....
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
