21/22 inch alloys for F15

Hey all,

Please can you confirm what 21 and 22inch OEM alloys fit an F15? Ideally want 22inch but heard there’s no OEM that size for the F15 as BMW changed the bolts pattern for the newer model G05.

Keen to also see some pics from peeps’ cars with these size wheels on. It’s the last mod I’m focusing on now 😎

Thanks

Correct, no OEM 22" wheel option was available for the F15/F16/F85/F86 platform, not until the G05 X5 came out in 2019 could you opt for OEM 22's (which won't fit/different bolt pattern as you mentioned).

OEM 21" options for the F15 would be style 215, 375, 599, & 612 - maybe another that I'm forgetting, but those 4 are the most common. Someone just posted a set of 599's for sale in Pennsylvania, but looks like you're on the other side of the pond.

Thanks so much. Yeah I’m in the UK.

Really can’t decide between OEM or aftermarket. Don’t really love any of the OEM
Options in 21” tbh and I have a full aftermarket body kit so leaning more towards aftermarket wheels as well to finish off the look.

HELP! lol

Black 612M's would look great with your current setup.

A couple thoughts regarding 22's - just my opinion here - but unless you're lowered a bit, that skinny sidewall on a 22" tire coupled with stock wheel gap just doesn't look right. As well, the bigger the wheel, the worse the tiny stock brake rotors look.

Post some pics for us when you get your new wheels, whatever it is you decide on

How’s the fit and finish of the body kit? Where’d you buy it? I saw one on eBay that looked promising.
