I'll throw my 2 cents in the ring...
I'm all for aftermarket wheels to get the right fitment you're looking for, but don't find the Manhart wheels significantly special to justify the change. As stated, the stock wheels are gorgeous, but I can understand wanting something different.
That said, the Manhart wheels I've seen, just don't take advantage of the offset the X5 offers, which allows for truly "deep concave" wheels. They tend to be flatter than other "deep concave" wheels, and at that rate, I'd pick a different design altogether. Not sure if there's a motivation factor such as TÜV (MOT in the UK I believe) that these would be compliant with, perhaps taking others out of the running. I'd shop around for the right look. Vossen has some great designs that provide much more aggressive fitment, with the "fatter" look I personally prefer.
Ultimately: to each their own. However, the fact there aren't many pictures of the Manharts on X5 shows that they're simply not that good looking as a fitment for our trucks. Perhaps I'm wrong, but until we see actual pictures, I'd pass.
