Sunday photos of my M performance X5 on 22's

After a weekend of rain, the x5 got a good wash to start the week Monday.

Is that sticker from the MPPK package?

I love your wheels more than the the BMW original ones. For some reason these look edgy'er not sure that makes any sense or not lol.

On your interior shot, are you using a tripod? I tried doing this shot on mine with my tripod but I can't get the angle like yours.

sticker is not part of mppk. i got several ones off eBay and replaced the chrome badging with a sticker instead.

i believe the 22" version wheels are more concave, especially in the rear

interior shot was with a tripod. i did it quickly just to see how it would turn out.

may I know where did you order your 22" 599M wheels? I can only find 21" from the internet.

Update: nevermind, just read the previous post.

Wheelproz and wheeltech tuning sell rim and tire packages. The pirelli tires are great as well

I'm not a fan of the OEM version but the 22's looks like the right size and car looks great. They're a good price but I'm afraid of using them on NyC roads

This is my third set of 22's all on different cars and no issues. One set I bought here for my dads cayenne and he shipped it to Europe and traveled all over without issues either. If you hit a huge pothole or curb with even a 20" wheel the results wouldn't be much different I think.

I agree with this.. and especially if your tires are low profile from about 40 and below. I recall bending and cracking my 17" rims with 45 series sidewall on my 1998 Mustang GT on NYC roads

No those are a different style but same sizing. Also watch the bids, because the cheaper one like the one you posted use lexani tires. Be sure to look at the details and choose the pirelli tires. Usually an extra 500 bucks or so

Depending on the replicas, there are softer wheels and stronger wheels. I found a set of 20" wheels on my 535 that were cheap and looked great. I went for it. Turns out it was made by gravity casting (the cheapest and worst kind) and I bent 2 wheels on the same pot hole within 3 weeks. Sucks but lesson learned.

The OEM wheels are very heavy, so I would think they're stronger. Hopefully. You guys might be right about the replicas but I'm too afraid to learn my lesson twice.

Either way, your Car is one of the cleanest I've seen on this forum!

I was looking and different wheels as well, but really wanted an oem look for the x5. So far they are excellent and we have done several road trips as well. My other choice would be a set of Velos wheels which look very clean as well.

Thanks! I thought they were on the low end.
