X-cellent is on a distinguished road
It's my buddies SAV...But I was researching wheels and found those and he pulled the trigger faster (deeper pockets). They are Hartge 22" Classic II with Continentals on them in sizes as previous post...again, ride as compared with 20" run flats is comparable, there is NO sidewall flex in Dunlop RFT...the ride changed when the car was dropped..the clips in the back REALLY reduce suspension travel...the back end has NO give and is a little too rough for my taste, but the reduction of space between wheel arch and top of wheel looks great....


Tambabolong, lets be honest...this is my third X5 and while I love them, they are hardly the most utilitarian offroad vehicles around..My Range Rover LR3 would eat this alive offroad and holds 5 times the volume of cargo (I've loaded 53 bags of mulch in it, piled to the roof and it just rolled along like nothing), but handles like a truck. I bought (my 4.4 in 2001) X5 because it drives more like a sports car than an SUV....sadly it holds less cargo than a 5 series wagon, but offers the ride height and SAV/SUV look that many of us like (though I would drive an M5 or E63 wagon in a heartbeat)...but in reality it is something between a station wagon and SUV....and like you said..he paid the bill he can do as he pleases...

Baskin and Robbins had made a lot of money selling different flavors over the years, because everyone likes variety.
