Some opinions on my new wheels!!!

OK guys, my uncle who owns a wheel shop was showing me these wheels for my X and i fell in love with them. They come in black and I am going to paint them silver to match my truck. I already talked to my bodyshop guy and he is just waiting for me, he said they could be done perfectly. So the question basically is, are these worthy of replacing my style 87's, because i really want 22's and I spent alot of money on my 22's for my 760 so I'm trying to save a little for the X5 and I dont want HRE's or DPE wheels.

Looks like a good alternative for DPE's not to mention the price too. Anxious to see them in silver..

those kind of like look like the Lowenharts.

im going to be the first one to say this and Im not tryin to make fun or anything. But remembr u still have a classy bmw european car, its not an escalade
i understand your tryin to make it stand out, and i dont think any other person on this forum has said anything, but your makin your truck seem like a rapper is driving it.. wit the DUB 22" emblem on the side i guess thats "ok" but im just sayin, dont make it look to crazy other then that nice ride

this is how the Lowenhart LSR's look same design almost. my friend has them on his CL65 with black face, and the little piece in the middle silver..

Yeah I half to side with Imola ... I think its a little to BLING BLING gangster gangster for an X but they are still decent wheels. I would take them over my stock bmw rims (non-sport), but they wouldnt be first choice.

And I have to agree as well.

BTW, last night on my drive home I saw an Escalade that did NOT have 22" bling bling rims and I was in shock. It thought it was a law in Texas that you HAD to have these wheels on your Escalade (or Tahoe).

IMO, the style 87 rims from BMW are AWESOME. 315's from the factory!
