Opinion on wheels??

[mywidebody02]

the 19's. The 22's look like they belong on a Toyota 4 runner or Chevy taho

Thanks for the opinions guys
I think i might get the 22"s painted silver/grey and see how that looks.
and powers1 i have refited the black grills now and yes they do look better like the wheels i keep changing my mind.
I just need to find black bonnet vents to replace the titainium ones

I think these 22" wheels look terrible. The 19" wheels look great. I see the poll is currently running 88% in favour of ditching the 22s.

I'm just wondering where you find good enough roads in NSW where 22s work okay?

22+ Not feelin it.

Haha, Dking05: "the Goldylocks zone" - thanks for a good laugh!

I live in Stockholm, where it right now is wintern and freezing cold -10 celcius (14 fahrenheit) so my own X5 has winter wheels now - 21 inch BBS RX2:s - very similar to this one (although my car is Carbonschwarz, a kind of blueish black metallic)

But I also have two sets of 22 inch summer wheels, one set is very similar to the ones that this poll is about. And I'm a bit provoked by the fact that nobody seems to think they look good, hehe... That's why I might be a bit in favor of the 22:s, even though the others are arguably the best looking OEM 19:s that BMW have put out.

My second set of 22:s are BMW Style 168, like this one:

I bought them last week, and judging by the outcome of this poll, these look better when spring arrives here in April.

I still think the 19:s with titanium grills have too little attitude. The X5 is a powerful "Hulk" car, not a soccer mom car.

Anyway, to the thread creator: good luck whatever your choice becomes! And to all you others: have a nice day!

I didnt notice the titanium bonnet vents....But you are right ,it should look better in black.
Just thought I would make more comments about the 22s!I am sure that they look even better in real life.You having a deep dish makes the wheel look smaller and therefore not OTT for the X5.I think it looks just right!Also being a 5 spoke wheel its not too out of character for the car.You have a polished lip as well,so if you had the wheels sprayed silver it would make them just right and they would also be more in line asthetically with your aluminiun RBs.
Your 22s at the moment still look good as they look colour coded to the car and way better than some other 22s around!
They definitely dont have "drug dealer or "horrible" look but everyone is entitled to their opinion
The oem 19s maybe nice ,,but they look boring next to the 22s

Ah, that's the ones I was trying to remember... the BMW style 168 reps in 22" look amazing! And this link is actually to the xoutpost member's cardomain page ironically enough.

They are very hard to find as the Italian manufacturer have stopped production. My guess is that BMW lawyers have threatened suing them for copyright infringement.

I know that projex UK had them this summer, Welcome to Projex UK // Alloy Wheels Specialist.

22's look way too small......you need to fill up that wheel well more
