20' wheels on my 2011 X6M, too small?

Just got my summer wheels & tires set on my 2011 X6M at TireConnection, Toronto.
TSW Nurburgring RF 20x10.5 all four
Conti ExtremeContact DWS 275/40/R20 front, 315/35/R20 rear

Very happy with this setup,some people feel the rims said too small for my car, but the weight is lighter and Conti DWS doesn't have 22', so just stay with 20'
The road condition around my area is very bad, it is better to go 20'
Planing to go tracking, but not sure if the Conti DWS can give me enough grip.

I don't think that they look too small. I actually think they look great.

That being said, I think anything over 20 inch on any car is overkill imo.

Best of luck at the track and good luck with it!

20" is OK.
I would put a BMW caps and replace the TWS if I were you.

I think it looks great. TSWs are notorious for bending though, so be careful around the potholes

IMO The Black makes them look pretty small.

I think 20s look good on X6Ms (and has much better tire selections than 21s) but lowering a bit would make it look sharper.

They are small looking wheels, but that has more to do with the design and the fact they are black.

I wouldn't go less then 21's if you do OEM. If you go aftermarket, def got to do 22's. I just went from style 214 20's to style 599 21's on my X6. Love them.

You need some KW Coilovers for a better track experience! Also, other Pads to avoid fading.
