Hi,

I have an X5 and am getting bored of the wheels I have on there. They are 19' 5 spoke BMW wheels.

Any ideas what I could go for? Looking to go bigger and thinking about some Kahns as that's the only manufacturer I know when it comes to big wheels.

Thanks.

Don't do it BIGJO, few things shout council more than a khanned up X5 ! :td:

PS Bigger rims and lower profile tyres will also do the ride and steering no favours, drive one with big rims first before spending your money.

Aww don't worry Simon...don't be sad you peasant. I know you don't have a pot to p!ss in but maybe one day you'll be able to own one. I've owned mine for nearly two years (black Sport 2006 plate) just getting bored of the wheels.

Anyway guys, I think I'll keep to the 19's...thanks for the advice guys especially Pacerpete :wink:

Blitz its all about the wheels on the top pic...they're very similar to mine.

Kahn's will be a no no now...thank you all (except Simon you pr!ck)

:D

Can you post a pic of your car? I know someone with a basic 3.0i with standard wheels who would buy your 19's.
