Brakes and 22" wheels on an X5
Is there anyone on this board that has had 22" wheels fitted onto their x5 and experienced exactly the same brake wear as they did when they had the factory wheels on? Please chime in, I'm curious to know.

I only have the standard 20" rims, but if you have more rotating mass and your driving style doesn't change, you're going to have more wear

Yes I've recognized that as a result of larger/heavier wheels on our cars. I was hoping to get personal experiences to justify a point I was making with another member. But thanks for your input.
