20's or 22's

I am currently looking to change mt wheels, but not sure if i should go for 22" Kahn wheels or OEM 20's (4.6is)

i have a 3.0d, but i am also wanting to fir the 4.6is trims.

IMHO stick with the 20s. I think you start to take away from the X when you go to big (22-24). Of course the bigger the wheel, the smaller the tire and rubberbands on big wheels are not attractive. I just put on my 20s from Lakeshore Wheel and Tire and they are beatiful! Dont even ask for pics yet. Im not posting pics until my next weekend (after I do my Zaino detailing job)

I've done the God forsaken 22's and love them. 20's do give the OEM look, but the "right" 22's can make a substantial difference... If you want to see mine, search for a post called "Check My Foot Work"...

ACS Type II are probably the only 22's I'd put on my X5
