Style 87 vs 132s - opinions?

Hello all, still fairly new to X5world, this place is great! Looking to replace my '01 3.0 oem sport package style 69 wheels with 20" replicas.

Based on styling, which would you all choose? Pros/cons?

The oem 4.6 look with 20" Style 87s:

OR

The '04/'05 sports package look with +1 sizing - 20" Style 132s:

I'm feeling partial to the 132s now but have never seen any pictures of them in 20" sizing on the X5. Hope the extra inch gives it that much more kick. I just think the 132s will help to update my X5 and I just love these wheels in general. Although the 87s give a more oem and aggressive look IMO.

Lastly, any drawbacks to a standard 275/40/20 + 315/35/20s setup? There's really only snow here in Vancouver a couple of days a year but a tonne of rain. Maybe I should go with 275/40/20 + 295/40/20 or just 295/40/20s all around as suggested on the "Buyers guide to replica wheels" here on X5world.

Suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!
