Stuck between 2 sets of wheels for X3.

I want to get the opinion of my fellow X3ers. I'm looking to get rid of the OEMs on my '04 X3. It's not that I hate them...I just want my X3 to get a more aggressive look. I've been looking around and have reached 2 finalists: Beyern 5 (Silver) and Axis Orden.

I'm already leaning towards one of these two but I wanted to get the opinions of every one here and see what the outcome is.

Thanks in advance!!!

IMO, I would go with the black ones mostly because you have a black X3 and it should set it off quite nicely. I'm also guessing you would go with larger rims/lower prof wheels? It should look pretty "mean" with that combo.

i personally like the bayerns... i feel it has the more aggressive look.. maybe if you find the bayerns in black with the chrome lip or something hen that will be perfect..otherwise theyre verry nice.. what size u gettin?

I like the style of Beyern 5 better, but would get them in black if possible. The axis style really isn't that agressive imo.

I'm thinking of going with 19's but at the same time I'm scared of going with the 20's. I know that the X3 has a big wheel well but I'm not sure yet. I'm actually in the works with the dealer on these wheels. I have my choice in my mind but $$$ could change all that.

Please keep your opinions coming. I really appreciate it!

If our X was a three, I'd look into a less lower profile tire to
try and fill the large wheel well. I like the black wheels.

I'm not too keen on black wheels, but I love the deep lip. I'd go for option A which also has a deep lip. I think it would look even better if the lip was polished though, like the black wheel. Can't really tell if it is or not by the pic, but it looks like it's painted.

the black ones look cheap, ive seen the same design on millions of tahoes. Get the ones on the left, They will look sharp on your x3
