New wheels - 22" v 20": Input please

[sschultz007]

Considering Forgestar F14s for my '14 X5 50i MSport. Although I was thinking 22s would fill out the wells nicely, I now realize that given the limited tire size options, the 325/35r20s are the biggest option available in terms of overall diameter/height (22s are all 25 or 30 profile). Further the concavity of the Forgestar F14 in the SDC 20" is meaningfully deeper than the deep concave 22" (pics below). All that said, something doesn't feel right about getting new shoes and staying with the same diameter as the OEMs. It would help if anyone out there might have pics of the F14s SDC in a 20 x 12 mounted on an X5 or x6.

By the way, I'm not willing to solve this dilemma by droppin' >$3k on wheels alone.

Call up Innovate Autoworks just to confirm what they used/did. It looks like they put 20x12 Forgestar on an X5M:

No problem. Yes, they are Forgestar 20s. 2 ways to post pictures:

1) Copy image location of the pictures and press the yellow mountain image button when you GO ADVANCED in the message box. Paste the image location here. It will give the parameters as such: [IMG]your image.jpg or whatever[/IMG]

2) go to postimage.org, tinypic.org, upload to your photobucket or whatever account and copy the "direct link" for your image into that yellow mountain box.

Looks like the 22" picture is on the Semi Concave. But, I might be wrong.
I've seen the 20" SDC in person, but never seen 22" DC.

Unfortunately, I think those ARE the F14 DC in a 22"... lose a lot of concavity going from the 20 to the 22 in this wheel
