Wheels on X5 M today (not mine...)
Just installed a set of forged 22" MHT Illusions in black and brushed with a chrome lip on a brand new X5 M for one of our customers. 22x9.5" front and 22x11" rear. This thing was pretty tough to outfit as the calipers and rotors are HUGE. We measured 15.5" front!!! Rear tire is a 335, front is a 285. Fit is perfect.

Just a quick heads up: X5M has staggered hubs just like the X6. 74mm front and 72.6mm rear. That caught us by surprise...

Comments welcome. Keep in mind this is what the customer wanted, not what we were trying to get rid of from stock...

I'm not feeling it. I think the ///M needs a meatier wheel. Those spokes are too thin.

Just my $0.02

I'm not sure about the wheels myself, but give them this much, they sure show off those brakes!

This is now up to $0.08. The wheels look lost on that car considering they're 22's. And its the only chrome on the car. Wrong !!

Several posters have commented on the lack of chrome on the car. I can see bezels around the kidney grills, all the chrome inside the headlight covers, the M logo in each front fender, the roundels front and rear, the rear badge, and four exhaust tips.

I'm with the others...not feeling it. Stock wheels look better imo. I just don't think chrome and performance go together. To each his reach i guess
