OK so I'm on the X5 "bang'n" trip! Lovin it!!!

Again this site is KICK'n!.....yeah I'm a 35 yr old architect with a new toy!

So I've seen the 5-8 spoke staggered replica rims and they look awesome

the 5 spoke: sporty and agressive
the 8 spoke: traditional and sophisticated

OK two questions:

1. Do I stay with the trend and get the replicas?
2. Or do I go offline and get a aftermarket style? BLING BLING!!!
3. Chrome or Silver?

Thanks

LOL, sorry, I just had to laugh! You said "two questions" but then listed three!




btw: 87s are the hottest

DING DING you win the prize! A BIG KISS!!! from me!

1 for replicas!

8 spoke?
maybe you mean 7 spoke ( style 168)- these are staggered
and 5 spoke -- style 87s
you should edit this thread and choose "poll" so we can place our votes.
BTW, welcome to Xworld!

What year is your X5? style 168 on a pre-facelift X5 don't look as good as style 87. Both are staggard.

ioop9000. Thanks for the edit.Still new 22 hours. Anyone to help change the poll? By the way you didn't vote?

Plus I'm drink vodka-tonicx...

2002 4.4i Sport ...had 50K original,,got it from the dealership

[iop9000]

i agree with lemans, 87s silver looks best on your pre-facelift X.

[panda8875]

Thanks.

I took a look at some 2006 at Peter Pan BMW with the "7-spoke" looked trick! but I wondering over toward the 5-spoke.
Comments on aftermarket?

Sorry...I meant drinking vodka-tonic'x

Welcome Panda,

I'm with the majority...87s look better on pre-04 X5s. The 168s look better on 2004-present. I had replicas on my '02 4.4i and found them to be a cost-effective option over OEM.
