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 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
