After searching for a while now, I understand why there aren't that many aftermarket wheels on X's. I believe the main problem to be the tire and wheel sizes

It is true that X5 rims need to be sporty, classy and beefy because of their size. It seems difficult to find the right equation.

Technically, finding 20" wheels is not easy because most don't come in 20x10.5 but just 20x10 Then 315's don't fit (at least don't look right) so you gotta go narrower. When you go narrow, you realize you don't have a 295 equivalent. There is a rare 295/30 which would not fill the wheel well correctly anyway because of the short sidewall. So you gotta with 285's or worse 275's yikes!

In 21's you have 295/35 available from the Rack or other places, nice but you really have not much choice at all in terms of wheels (you do have the 128's as seen above) and again you gotta settle for something narrower than stock :eek:

Then you have 22's On "is" models I don't think they look too bad because of the drop; on anything else, they look too tall. Because of how large 22's are, they need to be pretty beefy and that's hard to find since we also need them to be classy and sporty (so demanding X5 owners are). 295/30 R22 tires are easily found so that's not a problem and happily meet 10.5's which are commonly found. Now weight and likelyhood of bending the rims become factors to consider here.

To add my opinion regarding OEM wheels, the more I look at them the more I find the 87's outdated. 168's are definitely growing on me, while at first I didn't like them as much as the 87's. I wonder what they look like in 22's, they even have 22x11's out there, gotta be hot !

Bottom line is I can't believe how difficult it is to find something I really like.
