why do I like these wheels so much?
 
Anyone got a pic of these on their X5?

I can see why, Mickey. They have style, but don't look too "bling" for a 20" rim.

They come in 8.5"x20" only?

They look alright. I always try to avoid rims with center caps like that. Had bad experience with one...

Me too. I had a set of wheels that had a very cool carbon fiber locking center cap that hid the bolts but when I lost one, I couldn't find a replacement. Now I have a set of wheels with one wheel missing a center cap. I will never buy a set of wheels with those center covers.

I like 'em! But it IS hard to tell what they would look like on the X5.

1. I had the wheels rotated and the tech stripped 1 of 4 little screws that hold the center cap. Replacement screws are almost impossible to find. Easy to strip.

2. Every so often, the little screws came loose. I always had to check them
