I love the wheels, they look and fit perfect. You're right, the tires do need a shine. I just haven't had the chance to buy a proper product. I am glad I bought Matte wheels as it provides a nice contrast to the shiny black look. Funny thing about the plates: When you read it as a Non-German speaker is says BUDDY... When you read it as a German speaker it says BOOTY... ...I can't believe the Germans let that go through. Last edited by JAYtheVET; 04-28-2024 at 03:19 PM.. |

I recently found out that BMW sells 21" wheels for the new X1: Bmw 21" wheels
I also found the same style wheels that you have, the Borbet BY, in 21": Borbet BY 21" So they are 8,5x21 ET45 5x112 which is very similar to the OEM 21" wheel, the only difference being the width 8,5 vs 8. Would these fit on my U11 M35i? I understand that in theory I can pay a fine in Austria since technically this particular wheel is not tested by the relevant authorities (TÜV?). How serious of an offence is this in case they actually fit well? |

Do you already have your X1 or still waiting for it? What wheels do you have on it/ordered with it? I would highly recommend trying out the 20” wheels first before buying the 21”. The jump from 19” to 20” was not so bad, but the jump from 20” to 21” is quite significant. Also one more thing to point out, if you’re not planning to lower the ride height, 21” on the X1 with its noticeable gap might look funny |
