I also bought my X with stock style 57 - 17" rims and immediately went about looking for 20" rims for it. Thanks in the main to the fabulous pics of guys who are really shy about showing off what one can (& should) do to the wheels on a stock X5.
As I was deciding over style 87's, 132's, 168's or 214's in 20" I inadvertantly came across a set of 132's in 19". They were oem and in pretty good condition for 2nd hand rims and well priced. I pulled the trigger and haven't looked back and certainly don't mull over the fact that I don't have 20's. I noticed a difference in the positive when pushing 'ol Bluey through twisties and am glad that I stepped up to 19" rims. Big difference from what was to what is both in handling and aesthetically.
Don't forget guys, out here in Aussie Land options are thin on the ground as far as getting hold of 2nd hand parts for Bimmers, not to mention X5's. Yes, I could of bought 19" or 20" rims new from my local BMW dealer but who apart from those with too much coin would do that ??
So all in all one happy 19" camper here
