Crappy photoshop of Forgestars on an X5

Hey guys!

I can never leave my car stock for too long, every single car I've owned has been modded. Currently looking into wheels for the car and came across these foresters. Being a previous BMW owner I'm familiar with the brand and was happy to see the F14's were offered in 22" What are you guys' thoughts of this wheel on our car.

*Btw, I lied I used MS paint, I'm horrible with computers"

Of course it looks nice.
Let me know if you want to get them.

Send me a side profile pic of your car and I'll photoshop it for you. I think it will look solid; is that the color you're going for? Gunmetal? r33 is definitely the man for the job if you can get to his shop. He'll take care of you as he has many others .

I'll snap one tomorrow when the suns up, My car is the same color though. I was gonna have a local wheel shop do a custom brushed gunmetal finish for me.

Do whatever works for you . I know it will turn out great. 22" really gives the F15 a completely new/more aggressive look.

Can't go wrong with the F14s! Would definitely look good.
I'd love to go with a +1/2/3 setup, but the tire prices would quickly wear thin on me. Gotta pay if you wanna play, I guess.

Let me know, I can get them ready and shipped to you.
Normally it takes about 4-6 weeks for Forgestar to finish the wheel. So, plan ahead is always a good thing.

I don't thing the F14 is available in a 22" SDC...DC only. If you're looking for more concavity you might want to take a hard look at the 22" DC profile before ordering.

Yeah I emailed them. SDC best for me is going to be 19x10 with a low offset. This way I can retain my stock tires and keep the ride plush. And still rock the look on H&R's.

I am considering the 20" F14, 12" wide SDC on the rear, 10.5" wide DC on the front. Going with 20" allows for a taller overall tire than the 21" or 22" options in a 325 width.

Thing is with the set up I'll be able to use my 19" tires until they wear out. Then upgrade to 20's in about a year since it'll accumulate about 30k a year on the tires

Thanks! Btw, how are you liking your Racechip tuner? I'm looking into that or the JB.

You're very welcome. I love it. I haven't driven my car in a while, lol, but it's def worth the upgrade with the chip. I would stick with RaceChip to be perfectly honest. It's definitely doing better/getting more popular on the F15 forums.

So, I completely forgot that you have a 50i. You're better off getting the BMS Stage 1 instead like cy07, bluelodge400, and X5Jouster because it's a really easy install compared to the RaceChip. If you're content with doing the complicated install, then I'll send you some info on where to order the RaceChip from. Let me know.
