The lightest 20 and 21" for X5M for good money?

I'm maybe looking to change my stock 299M 20" to black 20" or 21" lightweight.
I want to keep the stock width 10" front 11" rear and tires 275 front 315 rear.

I like the Vorsteiner VSC-101 Sport Challenge Forged in darker color but I guess they cost a billion. Since I only keep my cars for 6-12 months I can't spend that money.

Do guys have any tips on similar wheels in 20"/21" in darker colors that are lighter than stock for a reasonable price?

Check with Velosdesignwerks, they can custom make something to your desired specs that's both high quality fully forged rim and at a decent price point. plus the team over there are all great to deal with

As far as I know, the only 21" wheels for this car out there are the factory ones. Only two tire manufactures make the 21 for it, both are run flat's. I am not certain however.

Tailwinds, I know you're correct regarding tires... I'm looking to purchase an X5 with 21s on it, and they just confirmed same, only two manufacturers with that size, both are run flats... Sucks too because the rims are so good looking. I think the perfect size.

Actually, there's 3 tire options if you count the Pirelli winters! Hint, anyone interested in those?

No need for winter tires in South Florida!
