New X5 with 22" wheels
Got the X5 last month and traded in the original 18" with 22" right away...the ride is very smooth. Added the dark film for back and side windows and the rear lamps - it looks meaner.
My next projects - debadge and aluminium pedals.

LeMans, the wheels are Concept One, think they are only available in Asia. Didn't do anything with the rear windows, the frame comes with the car.

You're going to need to black out the grille and tint the windows to complete the look

One of the best looking X5's in my opinion, great upgrades sir! What kind of wheels/tires? How did it affect your drive?

The wheels are made in taiwan and the tyres are michelin. I don't feel much different, in fact I think they are much more stable than the original wheels/tyres.

Hi engkonglu,

I am from Hong Kong. I have ordered and should have the delivery by next month. Meanwhile, I am considering to upgrade the wheel, how much cost your 22" wheels and tyres.
And any consideration regarding to the Tire Pressue Sensor (TPM) - I don't know have hong kong version got FTM (Flat Tire Monitor) or TPM (Tire Pressure Sensor) with electronic inside the wheel.
