Hi

can someone verify that these would indeed fit E53 19 inch wheels?

Thanks

Yep 68mm but BMW now do newer one's with a chrome surround rather than the grey for not much more (I think). Sorry I don't have part numbers but a quick call to the parts department should sort that!

These are poor quality copies of the old style BMW ones but the price is for a set of 4. You'll struggle to get an OEM set of the up to date BMW one for less than 30 odd quid. They used to be available for about £14 a set but BMW obviously put a stop to the dealers who were selling them at that price.

Alloywheelsdirect are doing the current ones at £37 a set plus delivery (£44.93 inc VAT).....don't know how that compares to a Dealer. Look under essential accessories.

thanks folks

I got a nice set of all black ones (nice and individual) for sale.

I've just ordered a set of these. I'll let you know what they're like but not expecting too much for £10.99.

They will of course be better than the crappy things that are on the car at the moment.

Apologies for the delay. That's just a reflection of something as none of them are scratched.

Got em yet buddy? Any good?

Are they stuck on pieces? Noticed in this heat Jig's ones are lifting on the edges. Granted he's not got the same ones as you, they look similar.

fitted them to mine had a problem getting then to fit correctly, what i had to do was split them and use my old plastic clips from the original ones ,
they fitted ok then, Job done !

Received and fitted. They fit the same as the originals so just push in.

Not sure if the badges are stuck on and certainly too early to tell if they will lift with heat.

They look great and so much better than the ones that were on there.

Cheers for the update - Maybe let us know again after a few weeks or so.
