Looking for 22" wheels. Any help is appreciated!

Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to upgrade to a set of 22" wheels for my '02 X5. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good site?
I am looking for good but INEXPENSIVE wheels. 9"-10" front and 10"-11" rear is ideal. I will buy tires seperate because those "package deals" send cheap Chinese tires I don't feel safe with.

Also, how good are ebay wheels? I've gotten fried on ebay a couple of times and don't feel that good about buying any car parts from there since the quality is horrible.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the site. I bought my 22's from an eBay member. They aren't staggered though. I've had them over a year and they have held up great. I love the way they look in person on my all silver X5. Plus the large chrome lip is just enough bling. They are called NAD 5.

That's good that they have held up so far, I bought ebay wheels for my Honda a couple years ago and the paint flaked off, 2 of the wheels dented over nothing, horrible buy.

What kind of tires did you buy? I'm very hesitant about noname ebay tires on my car and would rather just buy the wheels from ebay if I can.

I got these at discount tire; I had to have them in the 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the back to match the offset properly... They are Fusion wheels..

Yeah it's hard to find a style I like in 22's so I think 20's might be a better option instead? Opinions?

I have no pics of it but it's a completely stock 2002 X5 3.0i in silver (yes, with those amazing 17" wheels).

Exact same as this one:
