22" Wheels.....Which would you choose?!?!.....UPDATED

Hey All,

I am about ready to purchase some wheels, but before I do, I would like your guys opinion. The first wheel is a 2 piece rim (which can either be chrome or black), while the second wheel is a one piece rim (machined w/ black).

Note: The first wheel is black (used for viewing purpose only), but it will be customed to machined also, so it will look similar to the second wheel.

Update 1 (30JAN08): I just added 2 photoshopped images.

All your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Both are OK but I wouldn't select either. I think it's the "studs", or whatever you would call those, that put me off. They make the wheels look "too aftermarket" (and thus cheap).

On a classy car, I think wheels should be OEM or look like OEM...

Neither, but if I had to choose I vote for the second.

Like others, I don't like either, but the second one is better. IMO, keep looking

The second ones would look cool. Have you seen this thread? http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...lo-panama.html

^^ Those wheels look quite nice. Really they both look very similar and there is very little to choose between them. Hard to say which is better looking so go for what you really like. May be check out some styles other than 5-spokes such as multispokes or mesh (BBS-style).

Neither. Too bling for my tastes.
