Oh. Sorry... Thanks for catching that.. I just copied from the old thread. May be the 451 I posted is probably incorrect too?

Thanks.. I agree..

No, those were the correct 451's. Here are the 469's

I prefer 469 personally. To me, they look more traditional, mature and serious. And the inner facets of the spokes happen to be painted gray and matches my car's paint....which was bonus. The 451 looks gimmicky and a bit childish....like Transformer wheels or something.

Also, every time I look at them, the spokes look like a 1970s bellbottom legs doing the knees-in knees-out shuffle.

Noticed the M designation on the front fender. Were you able to order the vehicle this way? I was under assumption that US specs had the m designation removed.

451's look exactly like Hyundai Santa Fe wheels. I'd get 469M, or 21"s from BMW performance.

In my opinion, X5's 451s looks exactly like X6's 336s.
When I saw them in person, I thought they were the same.
Anyways, What do you guys think?
Whoever seen them in person.
Does anybody have any pictures of 451s in X5 Msport?

I've been a bit back and forth on this. Liked the 451's at first but they got old before I even ordered, didn't like the 469's but they've grown on me, just not enough to buy them.

Overall, I still like the 467m's (19") best out of the 3. If that style were offered in 20", would be perfect on the car.

I think you have that backwards. Can't stop other companies from biting off BMW..

^^I agree, but either way I wouldnt share exactly the same wheels with a Hyundai, IMO of course.
I ordered 469M but still not convinced, my long time favorites are 214 Y spokes. After all these years I bet they would look great on the F15.

+1 look much better and free upgrade can't go wrong

When I found out that the 469's were delaying my build I asked about getting the 468M's that come on the M50d. Was told they weren't available in the US. They are very similar in looks to the 467 and are 20". I think they look great.

Yeah I like those as well. May try to grab some at some point. I would imagine some reps will be floating around eventually..

I still love the 214's too. Almost got a '13 E70 exactly like the '07 we used to have simply because it still looked so damn good with the 214's. If my dealer could've found a dealer willing to swap, I would've done it.

On the Santa Fe, I guess my point was just that even picking what they haven't copied doesn't mean they won't tomorrow...

This spy shot of the new X5M is giving me some ideas.. the 214's seem like they would look good on the F15. Same for the CSL's on the back.. (and LOL at the tester having mismatched wheels).

I love the 214's and frankly the 451's are not a huge departure from 214's. I actually prefer the 451's on the non-M Sports best, but I think the 469's look best on the M Sports.
