Spot the difference (Hint...I got new shoes)

I ditched my 18" Style 74 for 20" Staggered Style 168 with Diamaris. I got a sweet deal off Craigslist...they were basically brand new since the owner upgraded to 22". :rofl: Now I have to update my signature thumbnail.

nice... :thumbup:

i always loved style 87s and this morning while looking for Ractive Oval Tips for my exhaust, i found at least 3 X5s with the same rims that you have now, and im beginning to be a fan now...

I love the 168s :thumbup: I wussed out and went with 19s instead of 20s. Had I seen the 168s before, I may have went with those. They look great.

Nice kicks :thumbup:

Very classy look. :thumbup:

CGSTL 10-23-2007 05:36 PM

Wow! I gotta do that!

haigha 10-23-2007 05:38 PM

Nice wheels :thumbup:

Do you notice a difference in the ride and handling?

DocMike 10-23-2007 06:32 PM

20's make such a big difference

Michelle 10-23-2007 06:45 PM

Those are my second favorite rims!

Looks great! :thumbup:

How is the ride using 20's ? I have an 02 E53 X5 3.0d euro and I upgraded my rims from the original stock 17's to 19's. Not much difference in ride and handling.

Those are some of my favorite wheels for the X5. Good find!

Excellent upgrade :thumbup: Better get some wheel locks for those babies quick.

bimmerFanatic 10-25-2007 02:11 PM

Thanks!

It can take corners very well with no slipping or screaching. I'm not testing the limits by any means but my 18" were all over the place.

The ride is a bit harsher, especially with the Sports suspension. Any surface bump...Potholes, lane reflectors, speed bumps, etc...you definitely feel them more.

They look great! :thumbup:

Excellent upgrade!

dr.jay 10-26-2007 12:58 AM

Those look great!!!

X5-4-Fighting 10-26-2007 01:15 AM

I recently upgraded to 20", too. That rim style you have there are pretty sweet, too. Congrats!

beldy 10-26-2007 03:14 AM

Is it possible to have 22" rims on all round and not get any rubbing???

EKS PYB 11-02-2007 01:35 PM

sweet looking rims. i actually for months debated whether to get that style or the 132s. i opted for the 132s but the 87s are my 2nd favorite as well...

blackbeauty 11-02-2007 03:33 PM

i love the 168's!

manonskisjr 11-04-2007 09:53 PM

Great looking wheels. What are the dimentions? Staggered? I am thinking about getting those after this winter!

toohotdoc 11-04-2007 10:39 PM

:thumbup: looks real nice
