Help me pick which 22s pics below
Alright I believe I’ve made my mind up Before anyone asks or shares their negative feedback, ratings are 100% with zero negative. Also come with structural, and cosmetic warranty. I’m looking at these two pictures below. I’m not a huge fan of black on wheels but it’s not a bad looking wheel. They are going on a space grey msport. I think I have chosen these over the 469m style. Thanks!

Yes, 1st one is better suited for space grey
What size are they? Have you matched tires? Don't rush - it will be extremely hard to sell wheels later if you'll change your mind |

Replica rims made in Italy may be as good as OEM, but then again how do we know we are sold quality product? Ebay sellers don't show us certificates, we have to believe them based on their reputation lol. The only other alternative is to buy oem or like you said famous brand name like Vossen. Tho even they are not 100% defect free For me personally, experience with those replica rims were only positive, but I'm a science guy and I know what to expect from replica vs OEM - if you lets say hit the curb: oem rims may bend but will remain structural integrity, while replica rims may brake into several pieces - so don't hit the curb |

Option 1, but agree I would not buy cheap Chinese knock offs, and I would not buy off eBay, especially when there many good vendors on the forum that you could buy quality product from. I would not spend big money on OEM wheels either, if you going to spend that kind of money get some HRE or BBS etc... they will be way better then OEM.

The way most X5 are driven having the highest quality rims is not essential. If you are tracking the car and pushing the limits having quality rims is essential.

Concerns yes, mostly balancing, but there is warranty with that. I’ve looked into them, as I know people will disagree with this purchase it makes sense for me. In two months I’ve put right at 1000 miles on my x5 probably the most careful person when It comes to driving. With 100% feedback, contacting the seller with questions it worked for me. To everyone it will not. I’ll say as with most people only will buy name brands such as Michelin, conti, etc, I’m also gonna buy a set of atturo tires. They are cheap, I’ve looked into them. One of the few sizes that come in a 275/35/22 and 315/30/22. Reviews are anywhere from 4.5 out to 5 to much more. It’s hard to find a bad review. And they are a very cheap tire compared to others. I look at It as to each their own. My roads aren’t awful here and don’t drive a ton. Some do, and may see or have issues. If I do with any of it it would clearly be my fault. For the price and reviews of both the wheels and tires it’s gonna be hard to beat
