OEM wheels are not going to be "cheap" anywhere. As suggested above, classifieds might be your best bet, or new replicas for something cheaper.

IvanLZ · 02-06-2017, 11:15 AM

Oem with tires at $3000 usd is a fair price. Even getting replicas with tires as well you would be paying around $2000. But hey its OEM so...

If you've already tried Craigslist, eBay and the classifieds of this forum (or the other BMW forums), then I suggest the following: find an X5 that is for sale locally, and call up the dealership and see if they'd be interested in swapping out the wheels for you. Depending on which wheels you have on your today, they might be willing to let you buy the 451s in exchange for cash plus your wheels.

Kzang · 02-06-2017, 11:26 AM

This wheel was actually very popular for the E70 chassis. You could also check that forum for availability too.

lowlevelhell · 02-06-2017, 11:41 AM

eBay is a treasure trove but it takes some poking around. People use weird tags and syntax in their listings.

on the e70 it was the 336 style wheel. it does look very similar.

Be patient and keep looking, they are out there. Be diligent in your search and you will find them.

iconoclast · 02-06-2017, 12:53 PM

Not sure if this is of interest but I have a set of 21" OEM wheels/tires/tpms with about 4000 miles on them and without imperfections. PM if interested.

i'm paranoid driving with 20's as it is. i dont want to go bigger. thanks though.

turboawd · 02-06-2017, 01:04 PM

worth getting these? replica wheels. got quoted with continental dws06 tires and tpms sensors, shipped for 2400

Those look good to me. Some people don't trust replica but if you are okay with them then go for it.

Flying Ace · 02-06-2017, 02:36 PM

Cheapest is still going to be on the used market. You might need to give it a few years for supply to come on line if you're looking for a "deal".

Remember the used market for wheels are for cars that are owned outright not leased. Most X5s are leased, so 2014s are just coming off lease. No lessee (2015, 2016) is going to sell his OEM wheels to you if he has to return the car.

So most of your supply today is from preowned 2014 owners, so it's not a lot out there. Makes sense?

Point of reference. the E70 (2008-2013) wheels market, even back in 2015, it wasn't that great, today, almost all cars are off lease, and market is flush with all types OE wheels. Today, I can get 18s for a pack of gum, and 20s for under $1000. Hell, I am starting to see E70 20's on E53 X5s as they've come down so much in price.

Kzang · 02-06-2017, 03:13 PM

My issues with Reps is that I don't know if I can trust it will hold up to the weight of our SUV's and if it will crack on the first minor pothole I hit. Good news is that its cheap to replace them, but not sure if I want to risk my family and my life with them. With that said...

This would be my choice of aftermarket wheels

That seems kind of high for replica's and tires... might as well wait for a used OEM set for 3000...

Will an E70 wheel fit on a F15? I thought I read somewhere on this forum that the bolt pattern was slightly different between the two and they wouldn't fit.

iconoclast · 02-06-2017, 03:46 PM

PCD remains the same however center bore and offsets change based on model and trim.

Just to add on eBay searching, don't be scared to try the European, Asian eBay sites. I have had success using the German, English and Chinese versions then running the adds through google translate. As stated above - eBay is a treasure trove if you are patient enough to wade through the junk. Sorry, don't mean to thread jack

P1 · 02-06-2017, 04:43 PM

Be patient and look on Craigslist. A two minute search resulted in a set of OEM 215s for under $1K...

Looks like these from another thread. I have 451's which I love, but these are a close second. He said they were Opti replicas.

http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...postcount=3413

Your eBay link claims to be 451 replicas, but if you look closely they seem to be more like these Opti wheels.
