I need a set of style 214 wheels in my liffe. any leads? i'm not afraid of reps. i can do reps too.

BMW wheel style 214 is an e70/e71 wheel...so you are aware that they have a 74.1mm wheel hub, right? The e70 & e39 are similar in that they have the odd ball wheel hub size...most modern BMWs have a 72.56mm wheel hub. The e71 (X6) is even odder in that the front wheel has a 74.1mm hub but the rear wheel has a 72.56mm hub.

If you plan to mount them on your e53...you'll need a set of hub centric rings for all 4 wheels if you purchased e70 214s...but will only need rings for the front wheels if you can find e71 (rear) 214s.

I've seen 2 reputable aftermarket vendors sell the 214 wheel (I'm sure there's more...but these are 2 I trust):

• http://www.hubcaphaven.com/x5_wheels.htm (this vendor may sell a version of the rear e71 wheel, too...may have to call & ask)
• http://www.ecstuning.com/ES64958/ (this is the rear 11x20 e70 wheel...search the site using the 11 digit BMW part nbr for the 10x20 front)

Yes, mr silver. I am aware. Lol. Thanx for the reminder. I'm going to open those links when I get to my laptop.

I currently have a set of style 214s on my 4.8is that I have been looking to swap out/sell.



I travel regularly between Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Greer, SC so youre right on the way in Decatur. PM me if you're interested and maybe we can work something out.

They are replicas, not factory wheels.

214s look fantastic on the E53.

HERE is a link to the E70 fitment wheels plus hub rings, I just checked stocking with BMW the ETAs shown on our site should be accurate for these wheels.

I thought I may share my experience with the 214s that I have, it may or may not help someone who wants to touch up the looks of their 214 wheels.

I used tape, some black rubberized spray paint and transformed them in about 4 hours to what you can see on the picture. I sprayed them with clear coat spray at the end to hopefully prevent the black corners from peeling after time.
