Also, I think maybe Armen meant in general that Hartge hasn't changed much in their OVERALL wheel selection. They only have 4 styles. Yes, thankfully they are multi-spoke because any multi-spoke will look solid on our F15s, but they should at least produce another 2-4 sets of new designs. That's just my opinion. I think that's also why I chose the 310M - they are a double spoked wheel - 5 thin spokes in the front with a thick 5 spoke pattern behind to give the illusion of more as you drive. For what it's worth, so far, I'm really impressed with all the 22" wheel upgrades that forum members have done on these forums. They all look fantastic. I don't recall one ugly wheel combo that I have seen.

Yeap, somewhere along those lines )) Anyway, I'm very conservative in my tastes when it comes to wheels, especially on SUVs - I almost always prefer OEM to aftermarket (with the exception of ADVs or VSs on cars like M6).
I'd really love BMW if they made an F15 version of their 433 wheel used on the 6GC. To me that design is simply stunning for a large car and there was a render somewhere along these forums on how it looks on X5. |

Thats true actually, every 22 x5 I have seen all look great so far. I first thought 21 was the sweet spot until I saw more pictures of Opasha, zipforia, and r33 x5s. 22 fills the gap better. Arman I too like that design, but its seen on a lot of BMWs, 6 series, m3, m4, and m5 etc. I prefer aftermarket for that personal look than an option box checked from factory. i do like that M versuon front bumper a lot Omar! |

The front bumper is amazing...the car just looks more aggressive/meaner. Too bad it's only a render .

Thanks a lot! Being able to go with such wide tires configuration is one of the coolest aspects of X5 for me!
X5jouster, For the spacers and accessories from Hartge, Here is the link http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/opt...ge_accessories They are operating in UK, so have that in mind with their currency. You have to pay quite a bit for shipping and of course calculate the currency conversion. The spacers are only intended for Hartge wheels as they also act as hub centric adapters, so be sure you ask the fitment when you inquire about them. As for engine conversion kit, I don't think there is any US dealer selling them now, the best bet would be inquiring directly from Hartge and have them ship to you. Member R33 has all the info you need for the various spring sets currently available for F15, there isn't a lot out now but that's what you have to deal with for such a new car. |

That was my original plan, but it ended up being way too small. It's still a really sporty car for sure. If I had bought one, it definitely would have been this exact Macan Turbo, but I couldn't justify the price at that point (base price $72,300 with nothing included - that's how much I paid for my X5 5.0i):

Simple yet good looking mods.
Didn't dig the rims entirely but they look good overall. Congratulations. |

Wow. Looks tight! Love those wheels. Personal, I think X5 should've come with 22 options. Looks so much better with 22s.
Should've contacted me when you were down here. Would've been great to meet up. Z.
