Found the perfect X5 but has 20 inch wheels???

I really want all season tires and want the 19 inch rims, what is my best option with cost in mind?

Get the 20's and rock them in the summer. Get a nice winter set-up.

You can do like I did and enjoy the 20's year around with a good all-season tire.

This is a great tire, another option is Continental DWS. I've never ran these but I've heard that they are a bit soft and wear quicker than the Toyo Proxis.

This is an awesome tire. Excellent handling and whisper quiet at 80mph. Make sure you get the tire with an XL load rating. They hVe a little stiffer side wall and will hold up a little better with the bumps.

Heading to dealer tomorrow to hopefully finalize a deal. Its a used 2011 so do you think I will have any leverage to get them to change the wheels to the 19's?

They'll probably swap them but I doubt they will decrease the price when they do it. Let us know how it goes.
