Which 20" wheel

AlanT · 03-02-2009, 04:34 PM

Hi,

New to forum. After reading for a couple of wks and seeing pics of oyster blue X6 have opted for same.

Struggling with wheel choice though, I have opted for 20" inch Y spoke however am now thinking 20" 5 spoke. Car is arriving this Saturday so need to decide pretty soon. Dealer is happy to exchange wheels with another stock car if necessary but need to let them know by Thursday.

Which are most popular?

Also see posts re P Tronic. Does anyone know if dealer can detect fitment?

I went with the 5 spoke 259 but a lot of folks like the "Y" . Personal choice.

I don't like the Y model wheels on the X6 because they have been available on the X5 for awhile and I think the 5 spoke sport wheels are more unique on the X6. I am probably going to have the 5 spoke wheels wheels painted Black on my Alpine White that I have on order.

X6 looks nice with either wheel. Personal preference.

Those are my favorite choice as well. They come at a hefty price though.

I have "Both sets" for mine, the 5 spoke are easier to keep clean IMO, the P-Tronic box I have fitted NO problems at all, remove before service and you will be ok, Mine has been in a couple of times now and NO questions.

Anyone get aftermarket rims for the X6? looking for some ideas. Thinking of getting black rims to match black exterior. 5k for rims from BMW just doesn't make sense.

what color is your car , I think it depends on color of car if they work. This is VR with black and not my taste (think with white car would work)
