I like them both, but I think only the 19" 132s are OEM, where as the 20" ones are replicas. Looks-wise I'm biased towards the 132s, but if I wanted 20s, I would go with the 87s or 168s since they would be OEM. Don't know if there is a difference in quality, but for my peace of mind, I would trust the quality of an OEM wheel more so than that of a replica. Just my 2 cents.

I like 87 and I have a set but they are now everywhere and starting to show age. 132's look contemporary. My 2 cents.

I'd go with the 87's if you've got a pre-refreshed X5.

It just doesn't look right, when you see an early X5 wearing the refreshed X5 wheels... IMHO !

Not sure if the look contemporary.. They are staggard rims.
You can get them chromed or Black chromed as the last pictures shows.

You hit the nail on the head...

I was asking about different wheels on e90post.com a while back..I really wanted to put a set of e46 Type 44's on the e90 I had ordered. (Type 44's - the best looking "car" wheel ever IMO)....Anyway, someone said that wheels made for different models (including facelifts) should stay with the models they were intended for. I thought he was crazy, but it makes perfect sense....87's look a hundred times better on pre-facelift X's, and 132's just seem to go much better with facelifted X's....I guess someone in design actually takes this into consideration...

Why chrome...why...

As I said, prefer the 87's to the 132's but I prefer my spare tire to a chrome 132.
