Wheels, Such a Hard Decision!

Need some opinions folks,

I know for sure I want 22 inch rims.

I was initially set on staggered style 168 wheels. But now im not so sure. I am afraid of the vehicle looking too stock.

Dont get me wrong I am not about to have my X posted in the "Ghetto-ized - X" thread, but I do want some wheels with a bit more "oomph."

A while back a friend saw these wheels on my brothers 540 and said they would look nice on the x5, to which i responded NO WAY!



But now I am thinking maybe they would like nice. They have that classic BMW look yet they dont look like they came straight from the factory mounted on the vehicle.

What do you guys think of spokey wheels on the X? I have seen the style 177's but again I find them a tad boring.

Ideas? Maybe some other suggestions other than the usual BMW style ones.

FWIW, my opinion is that they are an inch too big and the lip is too wide. I like the spoke pattern though.

My personal opinion is that 22s on X5 looks too big and heavy. It's a relatively small vehicle and should look solid but not heavy. 22s on a bigger vehicle is more proportional but whenever I've seen 22s on an X5 I think it looks out of whack. For the same reasons, I also think the lip is too deep.

Just my $0.02.

Maybe, but the OP of that thread is as tactful as a calender of a nudist camp for fattys
