Hot or Not
 

I'm debating
Forget the Style 168 or 87 ............

I tend to like fatter spokes on wheels for the X5

Diamond Black Finish

nice but not for a X5 IMO

Don't let me get some extra cash cause i would buy em in a hot minute but not with a Diamond Black Finish. :thumbup:

I hear ya Wagner. Thin Spokes ain't working for me on a X5......but I can't make up my mind....It's a like a chic in a shoe store. 10 million selections out there.

How 'bout 132s in either OEM 19s or after market 20s?

I agree w/Wag - nice wheels but not for an X...

There's something about the 132's....
I'm not a huge fan of 5 spokes but it's just a personal subjective thing.

Between the 132 and 87, both would be a 50/50 for me if I had to choose a 5 spoke. The 132 has a sharp line on the front of the spoke and the 87 has a slight slight ridge lip on the edges of the spoke....I'm just not a fan of 5 spokes.

On *certain* applicatons, I LOVE the 5 spoke but the ones where it has a slight curve to each spoke....these look hot on a Escalade but eh...not for me on a X5

Then do what I do when I'm in a shoe store and can't decide...... Buy them all :rofl:

I still say those 168s look hot on a black X

Or Space Gray :thumbup:

I was thinking the exact same thing.

CW,
What I don't get is your comment, "I tend to like fatter spokes on wheels for the X5 ...
" Neither of those wheel pics have what I would describe as "fatter spokes".
Diff'n strokes, but neither of those pics is my pick for the E53.

I like 132s/87s or 168s ...
GL,mD

MD. I'm a wheel madness streak right now.
Wheel MADNESS.

The wheels posted are not fatter spokes but I need a fixing for some good 'old fashioned forged wheels.

CW,
I hear you on the madness, lol! It can seep in for almost any
decision one trys to make; humans offered "too many/more than
a few choices" have a hard time overcoming inertia and making
a fookin choice!
Good Luck, mD

IMO which doesn't count much, since I do not have an X5 (been looking, it's all L and M fault). The BBS wheels are not for an X5, but I found this tread which would give you an idea: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=522982

Here is dvs ride - he is a member of this forum, if it was me these are the sets that I would put on my ride: http://aycu15.webshots.com/image/355...4590263_rs.jpg

not hot.

Aren't your HRE's somewhat similar to these BBS.

Check this thread for several options and my post # 11 with links to all wheel manufacturers.

Spokes style and thickness is wider and different on the HRE's.

I went with rep 87 for the winter.
Crazy heh....I had a brief moment of insanity and was looking at the BBS for winter setup

Those BBS will not look good on X5.

You could go with these..........http://www.xoutpost.com/249768-post5.html But not in black......

What size are you looking to get the BBS wheels in?

Sizewise....it's whatever fit's the application.
But nothing in their lineup really works well on the X.......
Spokes are just too thin and I had a brief period of wheel fanatic insanity when I posted this message.

Now on a coupe, maybe a white 335i diesel if I see myself, then a set of RSGT is in order.

Yeah, to pull the BBS wheels off, you'll need them in 22" and your X5 slammed.

Not hot.
