lookign for wheels for my 4.8is. best place to look?

[m3j0n]

Bought a 4.8is that has a set of smaller OEM wheels on it. Would like to find a set of OEm 4.6 or 4.8 wheels or reps or something machined/gunmetal like the newer cars. any idea where I should look? havent come across much. Thanks

Just a simple example of what's out there: http://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/700/bmw...eels_rims.html

But do be aware that not all BMW X5s share the same wheel specs. The 1st gen X5 (e53) has a different wheel hub size (center bore) vs the 2nd (e70) & 3rd (f15/f85) generation X5s. And the AWD "cousin)" X6 (e71/f16/f86) has different size wheel hubs front-to-rear when considering which axle.

See the chart below that shows the wheel specs of various BMWs...and be aware of this information when shopping for wheels. The wheel hub size and offset range will need to be known so that you can determine if the wheels can just be placed on without in augmentation (hub rings and/or wheel spacers):

thank you for that chart. Very helpful. looks like hub size for the 05 4.8is is 72.56mm, so thats nice.
