Here ya go bro. Not the best pictures but took some right after I got them mounted. Have to say steering is a lot better now. Its almost like the thicker tires on the 19's made it harder to turn the steering wheel. All the wheels are flush with the fenders. Tires are smooth and not loud as other have noted. Only driven about 30 miles but loving the setup so far. Pictures don't do just for the color of the wheels. Its graphite metallic appearance very nice.
Now just gotta get my CF front lip on this weekend to be all set with the exterior for now.
Is your suspension the same as my 2016 X5M suspension? Did you lower your car or is that stock height? Did you put all season tires on? How is the ride?

Since this X5 is new to me, how do these numbers compare to the factory wheels I have? The 20in M Sport.

X5 M Sport with DHP. Stock Height, granted when I unlock the car I hear the suspension going down? I believe it part of DHP ? The tires are https://www.toyotires.com/tire/patte...-proxes-st-iii
They are all season granted I will not drive in snow and ice.

So far very happy with ride. Don't feel much of difference between the Pirellei Scorpion Verde Run Flats that I had on before and these. If anything steering has improved and feels lighter. Only put a small amount miles but will report back later this week.

Thanks so much. You mentioned the steering feels better which I believe is a big issue with the Pirelli Pzero's. The Pzero tends to force the car in the direction of the road making it very annoying or the highway on a long ride. Sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy the ride and that is impossible in this car with the Pzero's on it. Figured an all season tire would drive more comfortably. My other option is going with the 21 inch factory wheels with the Michelin super sport tires but not sure they drive better then the Pzero's. I now have the factory 20's on it.

Keep in mind I went from 19 inch to 22 and the tire profile is lower. Thus the steering improved.
Also went from Run flats to non run flats.
Overall very happy with the ride quality and noise. Does not pull on the highways that I noticed yet.

Looks awesome! I ordered these same wheels but in gloss black 7 weeks ago. They just got delivered and upon opening them to get mounted and balanced, 1 wheel is damaged. Now I'm going to have to wait who knows how long for Forgestar to make me a new one....

Wonder if you could get them repaired locally? Its just a powder coating.
What tires did you decide to run and did you lower your F15?

No the lip actually has a dent/bend in it, so it not as easy as to re-powder the wheel. I ordered custom offsets to kept a 22x10.5 square setup. Running 295/30/22
