Give me some opinions on these wheels!!!

I currently roll on oem 20" style 87 wheels. I put on 22" TIS07 wheels in the summer and they are a little too blingy (all chrome) and i'm looking for a silver wheel with a chrome lip. Tell me if you guys like this wheel.

IMHO (and just that) the E53 looks best with a wheel, with no lip...

i have a huge lip on the TIS wheels and it doesnt bother me. the oem style 87's that i have on right now dont have a lip on them but i think that a lip looks good with a bigger wheel. I really like the silver wheels but my TIS wheels are also very nice on my truck. Here's a pic of 'em.

I think those will look really cool, I was thinking of putting something very similar, however I think the 87's make the truck look more like a truck.

I think a lipped wheel looks fine on the X5. What makes or breaks it for me is the spokes. IMO the X5 needs beefy spokes or mesh design. Spindly narrow spokes don't look right on a big vehicle.

That's a nice looking wheel but not on an X5.

Those are some nice looking wheels. I think that a big brake kit might be needed to back up those spokes though, it might just look a little bland behind the wheel if you dont(IMO). Oh and if you're ever interested in selling your TIS' let me know

Those look like the DPE or the HRE wheels that some members have on here. They have 22" wheels with the center of the wheel a different color. Looks good.

i think i'm going to stick with my TIS wheels for this one! the 760li sports DUB Dirty Dog 5 spoke wheels and i really want them for the X but i don't want 2 cars with the same identical wheels. but it would be cool though because the wheels on the 760 are powdercoated white with a chrome lip and i can do the X5's wheels all chrome, or powdercoated silver with a chrome lip. Here are the 760 wheels though- take a look!
