Which Wheels on X5M ?
Opinion thanks ?
My X5M has arrived!!! Will post some photos when I collect next Monday. As attached I ordered Black Sapphire with Black 818M alloys with black brake callipers with silverstone interior. What arrived is Black Saphire with bi colour 809M alloys with black brake callipers with silverstone interior. Photo attached is of wheel from internet with blue calliper. Do I keep what arrived or dealer says he will swap out with a new ser of Black 818M as ordered that he can have in before collection next week. Thanks in advance. |

818m are lighter and stronger,cause they forged,which is valuable.I personally like black wheels,but in my opinion the 21 818m in front look a little small.809m look bigger for the size which is nice.Also they look better in my eyes.For the look i will go with 809m.

I really like the 809's as a whole and they look perfect on the body IMO. See my next remarks on BMW paint and clear below
Not to toot my own horn. I like the Factory 818 in Diamond Cut but BMW painted wheels and clear is crap so it turns to sch1tz real fast......IME. I saw a new X5 with the Jet Black 818. I do think the colorway on mine look way better https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ukl2w...pjoabw64k&dl=0 |

I blacked out my 818 on my 2021 x6mc as it was not orderable at the time. With my 2024 x6mc the black 818 were available so went with that. Saved me 1200 in power coating.
Also - was thinking about ordering a pair of 22inch 818 to swap out the front 21inchers, basically going square with the setup.
