Which are the best looking wheels for the e70?

I like the look of my x5 and I'm looking to change the wheels for something smart. What does everyone have on their x5?

Flute.

Depends what trim you have, staggered? I'm partial to the ones I've got - not sure of the reference but believe they only came on the MSport.

I have the 333's as well and can't wait to put them back on after this long winter.

Aftermarket = BBS SV

I actually like the original OEM X5M wheel (style 299)



....but then I started shopping for something a little larger in diameter.

These were my absolute favorites...



until I found out how much they cost!

YIKES!


...So I ended up with 22" BBS SVs (photoshopped):



I also considered these 21" badboys from my local BMW dealer:





And my buddy Rodney found similar aftermarket 22" on ebay for his X5M:



And another wheel from Hartge that I really liked, but couldn't seem to find a source for the fronts wheels
:/





Come'on everybody... share YOUR favorites!

I really like the 333M wheels also, but I think only if you have the M Sport package. Without it, it looks out of place.

On my dad's old Deep Sea Blue, and on my Alpine White:

Thankyou for all the replies so far. I have a 2009 silver 30sd with the arch extensions. Currently have the snowflake 20" fitted which do suit the car but I'm liking the oem 333's or similar with a machined face.

Flute.

IMHO - keep your 214s.

333s look out of place on a non M sport, either keep your 214s or go 336s which do not look out of place with the black arch extensions

^^ Of all the 'bigger' OEM wheels the 215's are my least favorite. They do nothing for me. My favorite OEM wheel right now are the 599M's - haven't seen any on an E70 though.

For E70's, if you have M Sport 333's are the only way to go. Otherwise I'd say 214's for sure.
