Wanted a more aggressive look from stock and had a set of custom forged wheels made for my 2022 X5 M50i. Went with 23x12 rears and 23x10.5 fronts and am running Alpina spec tires Pirelli 285x35x23 front and 325x30x23 rears with no rubbing and a very aggressive look. Super happy with how it turned out. [IMG][/IMG]

I have also purchased a gloss black rear M diffuser to replace the ugly stock white one, black mirror caps from IND, and wrapped the roof and rear spoiler gloss black to create more contrast. I also debadged the vehicle to give it a cleaner look and purchased white painted reflector replacements for the sides and tinted my tail lights and rear reflectors black to create a Stormtrooper look.

Nice wheels! I would throw on a set of MSS springs to finish off the look.

Looks great! I like the storm
Trooper look. I assume this is stock suspension?

Thanks! It's the factory DHP upgrade suspension option.

I'm a big fan of the Larte front lip. Pricey but worth it IMO.

Gloss black wheels are notoriously hard to photo; pictures never do them justice unless they’re done with the perfect amount of light and at the correct angle.

Ah perfect just what I was looking for, your overall diameter is what I was looking to go with but just in 275/45/21 and 315/40/21. If you get a chance could you post a dead center side profile pic? Is your vehicle lowered in those shots?

I use to own an S7 for many years. In all my time since then I’ve only seen one photo that really does gloss black wheels justice and it’s this one.



I had the exact same wheels on my S7 and, while it looked awesome in person, it never photographed right. I could never replicate the above lol.

Here’s mine:
