I think they will be a bugger to keep clean tbh, and i have a feeling this baby is going to kick out some serious brake dust, considering larger brakes, and higher performance.......my X5 wheels are black after 5 mins driving already, this X6 is going to brake my back !!!!
What happened to the ceramic option ????

When I order a car and have time to kill I end up exploring every little minutia of my decision and then changing my decision a dozen more times. I like to make sure my salesman really works for his commission.
I keep worrying that the 5-spoke Style 259 wheels look too simple and might be mistaken for any other 5-spoke wheel design of which there is many available for the X5/X6 in 18" and 19" sizes.
One thing I've always thought about the Y-spoke design is that they always looks big and out of the ordinary. Also from my crude photoshop I get the feeling that the heavier look of the Y-spokes may suit the large X6, where a more elegant wheel might look like a muscleman with skinny legs. I don't know, but at least I could sell those Y-spokes fairly easily if I decided to replace them at a later date.
Not sure about ceramics, or even a performance caliper upgrade. BMW are launching a 'Performance Tuning' line later this year so maybe these may be available (rather like a BMW Individual service) in the near future.
