I have 22's. See my signature.

No problems with comfort etc.. My car is also lowered.



Weight? I think an X5 is the wrong car to worry about the weight on. I worry about the weight of my Ferrari.......

What do u guys think:
(pics are pre-lowering)
Divert your contemplations on something else, like exhaust or engine mods. There is nothing wrong with your wheels the way they are. They are sweet as it is.

I don't have a photoshop of my ride in gunmetal. The color I have is transpartent pewter.

Since your team isn't in the Champions League running anymore, you should have plenty of time to photshop some pics of your own
