Anyone swap rims from PM to stock or vica-verca on an X1?? Anything needed? Different spacers, different bolts? just want to have everything I need for the swap. I read on the forum here that the rotor bolts are a pain to remove...should I get new ones??
Suggestions are always welcome......
Thanks

The panhead bolts on the newer model rotor aren't nearly as bad as the bolts on the 99 as far as sticking goes, but they are torx, and I have a bad habit of stripping those. I'd just suck it up and buy new ones so you aren't sitting there cursing yourself for not having everything you need at hand when the time comes.

Just did this on mine last week. You don't need anything extra. The PM wheel has an adapter plate for the rear rotor you won't use. Which worked well for me since I couldn't get it to come off anyway.
