What are your favorite wheels? OEM or aftermarket?

My 491s are nice. I like the 468m ones as well (equipped in EU build X5M50d)

FamilyMan · 06-20-2017, 10:27 PM

I'm very happy with my new 22" OEM Replica 375's!!

FamilyMan · 06-20-2017, 10:30 PM

unbend-able too

21 inch 612's are my fav.. and found a nice set from one our own to slap on..

PeanutButterJellyTime · 06-22-2017, 10:32 AM

No need to worry about curb rash with those wheels. The curb should be worried instead.

PeanutButterJellyTime · 06-22-2017, 10:34 AM

These wheels on this page make me feel like I should have customized my X5

The flower petal vs spoke wheel always made me confused.
Which pattern do you guys see when you first look at it, I always see the flower petals pattern and not very impressed, but then the whole thing looks amazing when I see the 5-spoke pattern.

Interesting observation, I had only seen the Flower petal so far, until your last photo edit

X5Guy · 06-23-2017, 12:57 PM

I see the flower pattern only. I have to really force myself to see the five spoke design.

I'm just the opposite as you, I see the five spoke before the flower petal design.

I like my 20", bought the as an extra at the dealer

I agree, 611M are my favorite 20" wheels and 599M are my favorite 21" wheels.

These look AMAZING. I am looking for a good 20 or 21" replica set for my 35i. Any recommendations on where to buy from?

Thanks!!

I got mine from eBay off of bhytire.com
They had good reviews and they were responsive to all my questions before I made the decision to buy.

I'm sure others on the forum could recommend some good sources as well.

Good luck!!

I created this little comparison image when I wanted to upgrade my stock 469M (20") wheels and was trying to decide between the 612M (21") or 611M (20"). I apologize for the poor image quality, but it was all I had to work with...

I would love to add 599M, 451M, 375M, 310M and other OEMs to the image but I can't seem to find decent side-on shots of them. Ideally it would be nice to keep all X5s the same color to help with the comparison.

Perfect timing! I was debating between a 20" set and 21" set. Now I can see the difference!
