Go for the 22's!!!! Looks great, and rides well. No issues! :popcorn:

I would like to see the 22 inch 168 on an areo kit!

williamssk123; That X looks awesome with the 22" 168s! I was shopping for 20" 214s, but now I am reconsidering....I wonder what that would look like with the 4.6 front spoiler or the Aero kit!?!

Ok... so I found a pic of a silver aero kit with 20" 168s and a pic of the 20" 214s; I cut and pasted the 214s on the photo with ms paintbrush and played around the size on the 168s to resemble 22". I know that the result is a little shady on the artwork, but it should give an idea of how the different wheels/sizes would look. What do you guys think?

They all look good..

IMO the 214 is something extra.. They are somewhat different from rims in general. Im getting a set of the 20" 214 soon.

I've never been keen on to large wheels, so i find the 20" to look better then 22". It depends on the rims offcourse..

Also, the X looks better with some rubber on it.:)

My X has been shoed with 20" 87s for awhile and I am ready to change it up. I have also been debating the aero kit vs. the 4.6 scheme for way too long.:dunno: These photos have finally summed it up for me; I am thinking that I should go with the 20" 214s and the areo kit. It makes the e53 look tight and more updated. Very tasteful.

Can't afford the e70....but I can mod this one up so at least I feel like I have something new!

Titanium interior trim
angel eye headlights and LED taillights (careful to maintain stock appearance)
gauge rings
M3 steering wheel
Navigation/XM/bluetooth/rearview camera
fresh floormats
(....did I forget anything?)

Oh yeah...Anyone want to buy my sport steering wheel or staggered 87s?:D

i want them to fit nice not stick out alot. i want them to tuck as if they were stock. i want looks with out giving up the ride. any ideas or comments on the rims size? if anyone has any pics od 22" staggered that would be nice. thanks

Staggered setup in 20s. Also, a shout out to League City, Texas!

I would stick with 20"s for least vibration/potential damage/cost of tires, better performance

Russ from Eurotech helped me out huge. lots of oem replica wheels!
