Poll: 132 VS 87

I noticed a couple of X5’s parked next to each other today and one had style 87 (which I was considering on buying) and a style 132 (20) and imho I am starting to think that 132’s are better. It makes the X look buff whereas the 87 has a slim look to it.

What do you guys prefer?

I've seen lots of 132 19's in the last year and a half and I have no regrets getting the 87's. Haven't seen any 132 20's though.

FWIW if you ever plan to paint your calipers or upgrade to slotted/drilled rotors, the 87's will show off the mod better.

The 132's just look flat to me, like there is nothing happening. The 87's have the slight channels in them which, to me, add appeal.

I like them both. I think the 132s have more depth to them. I may be partial, just put 19" 132s on yesterday.
