X-series style 375 20" rims on a F10 550

TeutonicDan · 11-26-2014, 06:03 PM

UPDATE: Installed..

Guys,

I wanted to get a feel of what you all thought of these rims on a F10?
Based on the size/offset there should not be an issue.

I was going to go 255 35 R20 front and 295 30 R20 rear

Available Fitments:
20x9.5 Fronts 20x10.5 Rears

Bolt Pattern: 5x120
Offset: +35 mm
Color : Gunmetal / Machined Face
Hub: 74.1 mm

Do you think I would need hub centric ring, I also have 5mm spacers on right now but I dont think I would need them.

Please chime in and tell me your thoughts? Too busy?

Honestly, way too busy.

I think I agree. Might need to do a photoshop of them on an F10 to be sure you like the look before pulling the trigger.

I think that would definitely help. I was thinking either they would look too busy or amazing, thanks.

Yes, you'll need hub centric ring, and those tire sizes are too big.
Should be 35 profile in the front and 30 profile in the rear.
And I think 20x9.5 ET35 will be close to the struts in the front.

This is only my opinion, but on a sedan like a 5 Series, they seem a little ghetto - too busy and flashy, they will be the visual point on the car, not necessarily complimentary, but quite the opposite.

AFAIK these are only available in 21"

Ridiculous · 11-27-2014, 03:08 PM

They are SICK wheels though

okay, I will double check that because I have a buddy with a 535i and I'm pretty sure he has 9.5 in the front but I have to check his offset though..thanks

hey man, no offense taken..I am on the fence with them. I value 5 post members opinions, thanks

They are available in 20" and 21" - aftermarket 100% in 20's

thanks for your opinion though..a few of my buddies like them too so, still unsure. They are different and I've never seen them on a 5 or sedan, that's for sure.

Das Johnson · 11-28-2014, 10:25 AM

Dude you should totally use those wheels!

Bbb34 · 11-28-2014, 10:58 AM

No way to know for sure, but I don't think those would look good at all on 5 series, too busy I think.

Ridiculous · 11-28-2014, 06:52 PM

they looked amazing on my buddy's e70

TJBentley · 11-29-2014, 04:30 AM

Ive always loved those rims... I say do it!

ezmaass · 11-29-2014, 08:21 PM

I like the wheels for a sports car - but not really for the 5er. That said, I'll reserve final judgment until seeing a photoshop image.

The Beast · 11-30-2014, 03:14 AM

I love the wheels, but I am also unsure how they will work on a 5. Seeing as you had access to a set did you try putting them up against the car?

Also might look good powder coated depending on the colour of your car...

I didn't at the time but I plan to do so, just been busy plus it's winter here so I have till spring to decide on a new summer set up wheels. Don't want to jump into anything too quickly.

I have a black 5er so either I stay with the original finish for that contrast look or ? I did bronze already...I like it but don't want to do it again...any idea's on the finish? hyper aluminum red? hehe kidding
