Question 4.6is or 4.8is alloys
Been thinking of changing my wheels to the 4.8 wheels but really hard to decide which I like the best!! So lets have all your opinions please!!

Love the 4.6 wheels and I never did like the look of the 4.8 wheels.

You should set up a post with a poll!

I like the 4.6 wheels better, especially on a 4.6!

I haven't even seriously considered changing wheels because I really like the 4.6is wheels. I don't think the 4.8's are any nicer, so I don't know why you'd go to the trouble/expense!

Its no trouble and I'm not too worried about the cost as I can get the wheels from BMW for very good money as one of my best friends owns the dealership. Its just a notion at the moment but, from what I can tell most people prefer the 4.6is wheels, a friend of mine has a 4.8is and even he prefers the 4.6 wheels. So its just a notion at the min for me!

The 87s on the 4.6is but I'm biased.

Been thinking of going w/177's myself on my 4.8...but the 87's are a really nice wheel and sort of "classic". Does anyone have any pics of the 177's on their X5?
