22" VFS-2, Silver Metallic (10.5 & 12)

Just scooped these up on eBay for 2K. Kind of surprised the guy accepted my offer. Any advice on tires and did I just make a mistake seeing as I'm in RI which is widely perceived to have some of the worst roads in the country?

Good price. They are great looking rims. X5 suspension can make even 22 inch comfy. I'm just not sure what tires you will go with to stay within 1% recommended x-drive rolling diameter difference.

cant speak to if you made a mistake as i have 22s in Phoenix and our roads are great. As far as tires, take a look at the Atturos. i have been really happy with mine and $650 for all four of those sizes is a steal.

Wow, that's super cheap for tires; I'll check those out.

You got the wheels for a steal! Great looking set! Running the Atturos as well. They have been fantastic. I have a thread on them, should come up if you search Atturo.

Nice! Any of you guys throw BMW center caps on them? I want it to look as OEM as possible...

I'm running the Vossen center caps. I thought about trying to find a set of BMW centers but decided to just go with the Vossen caps for now since they aren't too blngy. If you do find the BMW caps in the right diameter, please do share where you find them. I might swap them out later on.

Nice, painted or did you buy black? I'm probably going to go graphite, also I saw in your post that you went with taller tires, do you know how I can go about getting the biggest tire possible taking the 22x10.5 & 22x12 sizing into consideration?

These are the shortest sidewalls you can go. 295/30 and 325/25 I believe to make sure the height front to back is the same for idrive. I bought them black. Not sure on Atturo sizes at the wheel widths. There arent too many options.
