What are your favorite wheels? OEM or aftermarket?
Now that Spring is here and many of you are already retiring your winters for the season, which summer wheels have you re-mounted that are making you fall in love with your car again?

Still like my 469M's, but only since I lowered her and added 15/20mm spacers. I'm still contemplating swapping into some 22's. But with a project 1-series on the go, I've been funneling my 'fun' cash in that direction.

Frankly for me anyhow, the OEM wheels look plenty good enough that I have zero urge to drop a lot of coin to replace them.

I think BMW has a beautiful selection of 21" wheels. They are a nice a balance of being sporty and classy. I haven't seen many aftermarket 22s that I like and that didn't "cheapen" the look of the X5.

Favorite OEM style is definitely 599M ( especially the 22" aftermarket )
Favorite aftermarket is the F14 Forgestar.

I just picked her up last week and I absolutely love how the 469M black looks with the Space Grey Metallic. My previous ride was a 2014 X5 w/ 19 in wheels and I always felt it was missing something. Now I know.

OEM - 469M
Aftermarket - Beyern Aviatic I'm on a mission for either set in 20". Just putting my coins back for now and biding my time. I've had my fun w/22" wheels/tires in the past and 20's are just right for me. |

I find the E70 and the F15 hard to shop for. Most 22s make the vehicle look cheaper, which is a pity. I find that OEM 20s with some nice tires, or OEM 21s with nice tires is still the best option.
