You can always see what you can price out at tirerack or other online wheel/tire retailer. Note that when I looked there, it defaulted to a 19" setup although you can specify 20". So there are options available but I didn't like the ones I found for the x5m (I did find ones I liked for our 328d). In this thread I think someone said that 19" won't fit over the front brakes so be careful.

Another option since you are in Denver. I had a local shop put together a summer set with VMR wheels for our 328d because I didn't like the tirerack choices for summers. You could give them a shout. Ask for Blake at 3zero3. https://www.3zero3motorsports.com/

I got tire rack 20" rims with pirelli scorpion ice and snow run flats in 275 and 315. The rims are OZ superturismo dakars in 20x10 and 20x11. The whole package was $3721 mounted and balanced with tpms. You can probably do better price wise with reps from eBay but I just wanted to get this done quickly. Rims showed up in two days. They are nice. I'll post pics after it gets a little colder and I mount them.

Sorry forgot to attach pic of rim!

Thanks guys! Looks like tire rack doesn't even have the 20" Scorpions in stock anymore either, will continue to look for options

Does anyone know if the winter set that fits the 2014 x6m (previous model) will fit the 2017 x6m?

I believe the '14 wheels for the rear would need to be bored out from 72.5mm to fit the '17s 74.1 mm. The fronts will fit though and the wheels cannot be smaller then 20s to fit over the calipers. So no 19s!

This is correct!

Ebay has tons of bmw replica wheels, they work great and all 4 are 1k, make sure its the same rolling diameter, the X drive is sensitive

Will hub rings work when the center diameter is too small?

no but getting them machined is fairly easy (i was thinking the reverse way) , I have a pair of wheels now on my x5m that 74.1 all around but the rears are smaller in the back and just use hub rings.

want me to find a pair that i will use that you can buy too?

Nope...thanks. I went the factory setup.

a) didn't want staggered for snow. Square and narrower than stock is better.
b) negotiated set at just over dealer cost as part of the car sale.

I am in Denver as well, did you get from murray or schomp and what did you get them for? PM me if you'd like, thank you!

The wheels maybe be staggered doesn't mean you can run a square set up, would have saved your self 2k

We are running a square set up on ours - 20 x10" all around offset 40, with 275/40/20 Pirelli Scorpion Winter rubber. Working very well thus far.

Same except 9" wide wheels. About $2100 from tire rack.

i was just saying you could have 9inch in the front and 11s in the back and still run 275 Sq2

Ah, gotcha, thanks.

I would still prefer a true square set up, though. That way, one can rotate all four corners.

Yea, ~$1000 sounds about right. A BMW tax maybe? But the convenience sure is nice. 4 wheels, mounted, balanced, and ready to bolt on vs the potential for lots of hassle. Had that happen before when piecing things together over the internet. That's why I either go OEM route, get a package from someone like tirerack, or use a local shop to piece it all together for me. Shipping big heavy wheels like these isn't fun.

Also replicas take a huge hit on resale when you want to move on...so you eventually get some of that back when selling. Any idea if those ebay rims are TUV certified? To me they are a big unknown. It'd be interesting to compare them to the factory originals (weight, etc).
