Upgrading E53 X5 wheels

[BIGJO]

Hi all,

Considering upgrading the wheels on my car. These are what I have on their atm (I'm not the seller on eBay):

And these are what I am considering:

Or these:

Plus side with the Kahn's is that I can use the existing tyres I have possibly? They are pretty much new mid range: 285/45R 19 10V also I won't have to sacrifice handling by going for the others which are 20 inch wheels.

What do you guys think I should go for?

Thanks.

Both are a fail for me. only my opinion tho not having a dig.

[BIGJO]

No problem fella - you're entitled to your opinion. What would you suggest as an alternative?

Kahn alloys on anything are a major council fail, even if your surname is Khan


Stick with the originals, nice and easy to clean and you won't look like so much of a tool

[BIGJO]

Haha - luckily I'm not a Khan or Kahn

And yes you are right however, these are the only Kahn's I have a soft-spot for. What do you think of the 20 inch BMW wheels Pete?

[pacerpete]

20s = harsher ride and pricier tyres. Unless your tyres are toast and you can find a set of OE 20s with good tyres cheap, I would be leaving well alone.

The kahn are for a diff class of vehicle clk not a X5.. I'm sure it matters

The original 20" like pacerpete said pricier tyres... I've got the staggered Y 19" on my other half x5 and I'm happy but a bit too common

Your call

[BIGJO]

I just wanted to show you guys the style of wheel I liked in the Kahn range - I like the 20 inch BMW wheels on eBay. I should be able to get some money back on the ones I have as they are in great nick with new tyres.

And regards to the tyre prices - I've just had a look and you're looking at around £10-£20 more per tyre...
