Default xj40 with bmw wheels.

17inch BMW replicas. They came black, they were a trade for a good size Holset turbo.

Was amazed they actually fit with no issues 245 45 tires.
Makes me wonder what other wheels fit.

Even with my brightness turned all the way up, I can't see the wheels. Are the M Parallel replicas? Got any more pics?

Those definitely aren't M Parallels, but I still can barely see them. Help us out, OP.

They look like a 1" smaller "Style 65" M5 wheel.

Correct, I liked the 540i sport 17 inch split spokes, so when I got a damn good deal on m5 replica I took it. Just didnt expect the hub sizing to be so close. My favorite BMW wheel as well, 2nd are the m parallel wheels.

Now, I wonder how they would look with the 18" version of those wheels!

Also, bmwm5lover, amazing ride. Do you have any problems/leaks?
