Updated E53 with new E70 Style 214's
I got a smoking deal on a set of OEM Style 214's with Dunlop run-flat tires. These were take-offs from a new X5 and have less than 50 miles on the set. Rims are flawless.

Using a set of Hub Centric Rings to covert the hub from 72.56 to74.1, these mounted up perfectly. The ride and performance of the Dunlop's so far is amazing. Awesome upgrade!!

I also hauled the jet skis from winter storage at my folks house in Ohio back up to Michigan today. Let spring begin

Hot looking set of wheels!

Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by " Hub Centric Rings to covert the hub?"

I had 19" Y-spokes for my summer tires (sold them to cbaX5 - http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...ifference.html). I still have 18" Style 69's for my winter setup.

The e53's have a hub size of 72.56 mm and the e70's have a hub size of 74.1. In order to ensure that the rim is centered properly on the hub, you use a set of hub centric rings to convert from the smaller size to the larger size.
