Hot or Not

I'm debating
Forget the Style 168 or 87 ............

I tend to like fatter spokes on wheels for the X5

Diamond Black Finish

How 'bout 132s in either OEM 19s or after market 20s?

I agree w/Wag - nice wheels but not for an X...

There's something about the 132's....
I'm not a huge fan of 5 spokes but it's just a personal subjective thing.

Between the 132 and 87, both would be a 50/50 for me if I had to choose a 5 spoke. The 132 has a sharp line on the front of the spoke and the 87 has a slight slight ridge lip on the edges of the spoke....I'm just not a fan of 5 spokes.

On *certain* applicatons, I LOVE the 5 spoke but the ones where it has a slight curve to each spoke....these look hot on a Escalade but eh...not for me on a X5

Then do what I do when I'm in a shoe store and can't decide...... Buy them all

I still say those 168s look hot on a black X

CW,
What I don't get is your comment, "I tend to like fatter spokes on wheels for the X5 ...
" Neither of those wheel pics have what I would describe as "fatter spokes".
Diff'n strokes, but neither of those pics is my pick for the E53.

I like 132s/87s or 168s ...
