Thoughts on 2 Wheel Choices for X5
I have the factory 21s currently.
Am looking for 22" wheels in gloss black. Which one do you all think will look better. Note: Despite the picture, each wheel will be in 100% gloss black. Thanks. |

I like better #2. The other look similar to the M comp.

be careful with knock offs. The quality control is pretty rough - very obvious when you look at the inner barrel etc.. Also, consider if quality is an issue, good luck returning them without cost prohibitive fees.
You can get the second one in OEM for the same price as the aftermarkets (after you consider the high shipping charges from China - *******change offers them. |

I would do the 2nd ones for the reason that I'd feel weird putting M wheels on a 40i. Not as bad as slapping an M badge on the back of your car, but same concept. To me it gives the impression I'm trying to represent something that it's not.
But that's just me. You do you. Both wheels look great. I think I also like the look of the 2nd ones a bit better.

Wops, thought the first picture was a 21”. I like the rim in the first picture but I prefer glossy black. This is what I meant.

My intention with this thread is just which wheel looks nicer in all gloss black on an X5.
Not on the specific model of X5. These are both BMW style wheels. The specific model of X5 is irrelevant. Im not trying to changer the model of my X5, its on the rear badge. Just looking at 22" BMW style wheels in all black. |

I think #1 looks nicer with the M Sport look. IMHO. Although, as others have said, safety first and be careful with after market rim quality.

Yes they were ordered from the factory on my 45e. But 22" cannot be combined with the factory trailer hitch. So if you have the trailer hitch in your config, you cannot take 22" rims |
