I really like the CVTs on F30s, but would appreciate to hear from anyone running CVTs on the F15...!

Thanks!

I considered same style wheel form Niche, but couldn't find any pics on a X5 or any SUV. I was afraid the wheels might look a little small on a car with a big fender gap.


I just googled and found this pic.

doesn't look too small for such a big car. Might be dropped though.
Either way you should go for it!

I've also been looking into the Niche wheels as they are quite similar.. But I also was looking for some pics, but couldn't find.. Both Vossen and the Niche wheels look a bit like the Hamann tuned car with Vorsteiner FF103:

Those Hamman wheels look nice but I think they're 23"?

Brands like niche and vossen are similar. They're both cast wheels.

Vossen has some really nice styles but I have no idea what kind of casting process they use (low pressure-better vs gravity casting-no good)
Also have no idea what the load ratings are.

Niche is made by a company called MHT which lists wheels weights and load ratings on their site.
My problem with the niche directional wheel was that the wheels only have a 1600lb load rating, which is fine for a small sedan but maybe not a heavy SUV?

When picking wheels, I only narrowed down the search to wheels with 2000lb load ratings. niche has a few designs that Fall into that category.

Yes, the Hamann's are 23".
Looks dope though! ?

Ok, thanks for the tip! I will certainly look into the load ratings. Thanks!
