Actually those XIX wheels look similar in design to rarebreed's wheels... I think his centers are a bit darker, but that way you could get the general idea.

If you want tougher looking OEM style wheels then the 168's are the way to go. If you want more aggressive styling, less common aftermarket options that more resemble a sports car wheel but bigger, the XIX X05. (maybe find a website that shows the wheels on the vehicle for an idea as well)

hello i just bought a black X5 (3l). i am looking to add some pimp wheels.
was looking at the Hamann black 23inch ones or maybe some DiVinci ones.
reckon black multispoke ones would look the best.
any thoughts?

You could start by making your own thread.

I would stay away from the divinci wheels and get the Hamann ones, but the ride will be rough with 23" wheels and you will likely bend the wheels some within a few months to the point of a shimmy on the highway.

By the way, :welcome: to X5world!
