Ill have pics up tomorrow. Hopefully. Got the sensors today but not enough time to get them mounted. Chrisny I leased my x5 and didn't want to destroy or sell my 19" wheels so I got the twenties. I figure in 3 years when my lease is up I can swap them back and should be able to get atleast what I paid for them. That's why I stayed with oem bmw wheels. Aftermarket wheels you would be lucky to even sell them at all!

Honestly the 20" tires arent that much lower profile then the 19s. Think about it, 1 inch added to diameter of rim is only 1/2" bigger all the way around, same with the tire. You are only losing 1/2 of sidewall. I will post a pic also with the mounted 19" Msport wheel sitting next to the mounted 20" and you can see.

As far as the potholes in NY go, I think a rim would bend just looking at some of those holes. I don't think the extra inch is going to make that much of a difference IMO. If you went to 22" then definitely would be harsh. Anyway good luck!
