Wheels - I can't decide

OK, I've never really made a post asking for opinions, but I definately need some help here.

I have a few choices for wheels and I really don't know which way to go.

FIRST: the BMW wheels - the wide ones that look sweet from behind. I don't know what the name of them is.

SECOND: Lumma Racing 1 wheels. The car will be rebadged to Lumma with Lumma parts, so I'm thinking this is a good way to go also.

THIRD & FORTH: Asanti.

Whatever my choice is, I will powder coat it black & titanium (to match the car).

What do you guys think?

I like both Asantis...#3 a little better than #4. Brushed silver will look better than black on a black X5 (IMHO)

The 4th Asanti wheels look interesting. I know they make good quality wheels. Just not into all of their desgins. I think most are quite ghetto. I personally love the 20's on my E70. Best looking stock wheels I have ever had.

OK - I'm still confused. What I'm reading is that the 375 is the biggest style. But, they are 21X11.5 just like the rest of them. http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemVi...productId=3193

I've seen a few X5 (not often) that have humongus wheels. I see them from the back and it looks like the wheels belong on a Lambo or something. Those are the sizes I want.

Also, isn't 21 a wierd size? Aren't 22s mroe common (easier to find tires)?

BMW offers a 21" wheel upgrade. The wheels you are most likely talking about are the ones I posted up. They are on most X5 Sport package vehicles made in 2011. Those are the ones most of us have with the 315's in the rear. The 21' is an odd size. The tires are also harder to get. I personally would step up to 22" if I ditched my 20's, which I do not plan to do.

none of these has better looking than the OEM 214, 215, 336 and 375. to me, these wheels designs will over kill the X5. they look wow but not good! but hey! taste is very personal
