E53 rims on my F25?

So I miss my stance on my e53. The stock rims on my F25 just don't have the width I know and love. So I have my old summer rims from my X5, thinking about powder coating them black, and putting new tires on. The sizes are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear. What tires would be correct here? Worth the effort? Here are some pics.

You already know my opinion bro

"An OEM+ look is highly sought after but seldom found"

Spacers and PC your current wheels black if you want, but personally I'd get the mirror and roof painted black as well if you are going the black wheels route.

Those 20" with lip I don't think would look too good powdercoated black, maybe put them on mom's whip before the sale and put her 87's on your F25? lol!

Though I would plastidip them and see if I like the look before I do something that is permanent. White is one of the more difficult colors to accent with black and have it look good but it is always personal preference how much black you add.

Yes, spacers will help a lot to get where you want to go.

Which wheels you make black should also be your personal preference. One thing to keep in mind. Design changes, including OEM and aftermarket rims are often intended to outdate what has been previously popular, set a new trend. You may find that the E53 wheels don't look good in black or look dated in comparison to what you have now.

Is this a lease or your own car?

Drop it and get spacers it;ll look great.

Or just get spacers, itll give it a more aggressive stance and will give the car a "beefy" muscular look.

Naw dem rimz dont luk good dawg.

E70/1 or newer 20" X5/X6 wheels would look great IMO.

Personally, I'd put OEM X5M wheels on it since it looks like a mini X5M anyway... they'd also probably be pretty easy to find for a good deal, assuming that X5M owners would be wanting to "upgrade" too.
