Welcome to the neighborhood. Post some pics of your ride when you get it. Here are a couple rims I found, is it one of these?

[skokos]

Bingo! yes its the rim on the top. they offer it in a 22'' by 10.5 width.
i think it would look pretty cool with that big chrome lip on there

Cool. I don't think I've seen those before. Pics are required once you get 'em.

I see you are in SLC. Are you going to run those rims and tires year around there? The wheel looks great IMO. Are you check on what tires you would use?

[skokos]

no there is no way i would use those year around! strictly good weather. when it starts getting cold and wet i will swap them out with the 20'' stock rim and tires

If you're going to upgrade the wheels aftermarket anyway, I'd stick with the factory 18's or 19's (depending on whether or not you're getting the sport package) for your winter wheels. The 20's aren't going to be any better in the snow than the 22's or whatever you put on. Or, you can upgrade to the 20's for the extra $950 and turn around and sell them for a couple grand and buy some 18's with snows from TireRack or wherever.

my whole purpose in changing out the aftermarket rims to the stock is to keep the chrome in good shape. i bet the stock 20's with snow tires handle pretty well!

They should look awsome on your new E70, but on the E70's I personally like the BMW oem 21'' wheels style 128.

I guess it would be hypocritical for me to say OEM are the only way to go. I have 22'' Nad 4's on my E53.
