If you are talking about the style 87's which are a 20' wheel that came on the "is" I just got a brand new set with tires for 1795 shipped to my door in DC. They look awesome!!

Pics are coming....

I will post pics later this weekend. I think the ride is not bad in terms of roughness, but the handling has gone up ten fold compared to the 17's that came on the X5.

My wife drives the X5 everyday and could not tell difference when I mounted the 20's

I would highly recommend them......
