X5M WHEELS

Can't imagine why you'd want to change out (unless you want a different diameter wheel) - the OEM wheels are very classy, IMHO. Just a little tough to clean! Even more so, can't imagine why you'd trust your life with untested, uncertified e-bay aftermarkets, given the amount of torque they'll need to handle.

I agree with the above post. Plus, why would you spend 90K+ on an X5M to get 1400 dollar ebay wheels? just doesn't make sense. Rock the OEM's. IF you want a different look then ball out and get some HRE's. You went big on the truck.. why skimp out on wheels?

Well, I wouldn't change the wheels either if I had x5M, but I did change them on my 35i to 20" replica's and have no issues whatsover - really happy with the quality and the ride is great. Got the 20" x6M reps.
