I just got my X5, and looking to order, a set of the FF10s in 22.

They are on 3 month back order, so I want to make sure that I order the right option, given the long wait time.

Tarmac (Black) or Liquid Metal (Silver)???

Looking at the same set, where are you buying it from? And do they stock 21"?

22" HRE FF10 summer wheels and 22"snow tires https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1764343

Maybe will help you.

But if you dont plan changing grill , mirrors to black or carbon , i would go with silver wheels.

I would get Tarmac. Something about black wheels just strikes a chord with me. I know the look is getting old, but I think it still looks good.

Get some black mirror caps, black out your trim and badges and get the Tarmac wheels. Just know that once you do get black wheels, it's hard to take good photos, especially in bright conditions, as it just gets washed out and looks like two black voids sitting under your car.
I had gloss black wheels on my S7 and it looked great in person, but it looked like crap in photos for the most part. Getting good photos with black wheels is hard to pull off.

However, based on your car and trim, Silver would be the easiest to pull off because there's nothing else you would have to do with your car. So, really can't go wrong either way.

I am looking at the same wheels, have an Arctic Gray on the way and I will get the HREs either in Liquid Metal or potentially in Anthracite.

The FF10 does come in a 21. But not sure of the stock they have left. Im going directly HRE for the rims, I was quoted longer ship times going through tire shops.

Ive been thoroughly through that thread. I wont be changing the grill, like ive done in the past, so Im leaning towards to silver.

Ive had black rims, for most of my cars, aside from the lowrider, back in my younger days, this would be the first time I dont get a black wheel. Thats why I asked.

Oh Anthracite, might be a good option.

I think I would pick Liquid Metal, it match your aluminium details

I just ordered the liquid metal ones, worst case I can powder coat later down the road if I'm not happy.

Do you know if their load rating is suitable for an X5 45e?

HRE builds these sets specifically for the X5, I would assume they would, but I suggest you reach out to them, they will have a better answer.

What tires are you planning on getting for the HREs?

I cant decide if I want to keep the 21" M-Sport wheels and just get spacers or upgrade to a set of 22" wheels.

I might try the nitto nt420v. There is another post where some has them, and they seemed happy with the purchase. I want an all season tire.

[c00l6rey]

So things changed, shipping and just thinking about it the last few months, and ended up with this setup instead.

Rims: HRE FF11 (Tarmac) 22x10.5 (Front) 22x11.5 (Rear)
Tires: Nitto NT420v 275/35/22 (Front) 315/30/22 (Rear)

Looks good.

If anyone wants a set of 22 forged wheels I'm selling mine. Although the wheels are to be shipped from Australia the price will be very good as I've got no space to store them.
