Hello from Italy

Hi everybody!
Less than two months ago I picked up this beauty:

It is an X1 18d Xdrive Msport Estorilblau with 19” wheels.
It is used but just 6 months old.
So far I’m very pleased with the car: the automatic gearbox is perfect, the run could be a little bit smoother but 19” wheels and runflat tyres are quite stiff.

Hi, thank you.
My wheels are BMW styling 572M, and they where already mounted on my car when I bought it.
Sometimes an used set is on sale on eBay, the cost usually is around €1.500.
The wheels of your X1 aren’t too bad, but the spokes are a little bit “too fat” and so the wheel looks smaller than it really is.
Anyway I agree with you that the X1 Msport deserves a set of 19” wheels.

For winter I bought a kit with 18” wheels (BMW 566 black) and Pirelli Sottozero tyres:

And believe me I would trade my 19” wheels for your panoramic roof!
I love my X1, but with the panoramic roof it would be even more perfect!

Could you please post a picture where there is more light on the winter wheels? I'll probably buy a set of those as well.

I'm looking at buying 19x8.5" wheels like in the pic when I get back to the US in a couple of months.

I don’t have a better pic of my wheels, sorry!
Anyway they are BMW styling 566 jet black.
Here is a link to a used set sold in Germany where you can see many pics of the wheels.

(I bought my set new from a BMW dealer in Italy and it was cheaper than the one advertised in the link I provided!)
