Should I put 20" or 21" (Y SPOKE)

Hi everyone,

I whould like to buy the Y SPOKE on my X5.

But I dont know if I should put 20" or 21"

I love the look of both of them. Is 21" too big? or just perfect? Is 20" too small? Or just perfect? Here is my question lol..

I've got 21" Style 239s. I think its the perfect size. Tire choices and prices are pretty awful though.

Oups sorry, I'm going to buy them. Its have 20" for sale, and 21" for sale.

And I dont know which one I should take. 21" is really nice, but the tires are really expensive I think.


And 20", I dont know how the X5 looks like, are they too small for the VUS?

Subjectively speaking, if I was getting OEM 21's I'd get the 239's, not the 215's.

As for the 20's - why don't you search the forum or internet, X5's with OEM 20's are everywhere as 20's were an optional wheel with the Sport and M Sport packages.

Some food for thought: you can also go with 22" replicas of OEM wheels. You will save some money on the wheels, and the tyres are cheaper.

Does anyone know the part number for that front bumper? I've searched online but for some reason I can't find it.

BTW, when in doubt get both sets.

I'll post some photos later.

The problem is.... Tires in 21" are really more expensive I think... really more than tires in 20" :S

I think 21's are better! But the 20's are not so bad either!

21" tires cost almost $2500 just for the RFT tires..it scared me from buying a set of OEM for only $1200. Check the price before even thinking of buying a set

I agree that new 21 inch tires are expensive but I was able to source a used set for an amazing deal.
