If I had a gun to my head and had to choose, I'd pick the first style.

Not digging these wheels. They are too fussy. I wonder what the weight differences are between the 19's, 20's and 21's.

I would love to see a road test done on the three wheel sizes and see how it turns out.

These look familiar, but my choice is still the first one.

Too ornate... The extra layer adds weight

If I had to choose I'd take the first but I would like to see something more minimal, race inspired with some concavity/offset

BMW is forcing people to go aftermarket

In my point of view, they are all way too busy.

Even though I did find a stile that I liked, I would never buy such big rims, too fragile for any kind of off-road driving; 19' are barely sufficient for that kind of use (I take my X5 on very muddy off-road every week when I go inspect my pineapple plantation )

Way to busy. I don't like any of these choices. Too many angles, layers, and colors.
