I agree with Clubba; Except I would do the 214s instead of the 215s (pictured below)

5. 20" X6 style 215.....er 214? (found on ebay)
3. 20" Star spoke 87
4. 20" V spoke 168
1. 19" Star spoke 132
2. 19" V spoke 63

87s no contest. best x5 wheel ever made although after seeing that pic of the silver x5 with the 214s those are a very close 2nd.

Surprised their's not much support for 132's as many members have them.
It's a bit hard to as all oem rims look good in their own right, but my preference is;
132
87
168
214
215

Wow - lots of bad advice here.

Clearly, the 63's are the BOMB. I have 19's - love that wheel.

Style 215's do not look that great from the side view, but they look sexy at certain angles.

Style 214's are quite nice.

Style 87's are a perfect design for x5's except even in 20'' they look too small.

Style 168 are beauts.

The first two are alright for a winter setup i guess

None of these wheels have anything on my style 130's....

Unhappy

I remember the first time I saw these on a brand new '00 X and thinking "what a beast!" At the time no one else had anything close to the style or aggression that these wheels represented. It was quite an impression.

Every other automaker has since stepped up to 20" wheels and GM is now putting 22s" on their Escalades and Denalis (least not forget BMW is putting 21s on some E70s). Yes, we are talking about size... the 63s at the time were enormous, but they were also beautiful and mezmorizing!

I think this is why I like the 214s so much; they put the 63 flavor back into a new wheel that looks right at home and updates the look of an e53. Long Live the e53!!!
