There are a few on here,although you may meet with a some negativity for going up to 22, I find it to be fine, but then I stayed close to OEM and went for Schnitzers as a few others have,due to many 22s being too narrow looking on the rear of an X, ive posted pictures on here before so just search my username and they should appear.

Fair play to you then sir,a man after my own heart, some of the more conservative folks out there get mad about big wheels for some reason, I think the market for 22s is much more varied when you look at what's available for the Range Rovers as it's more common to see a RR on large wheels, these of coarse fit our cars but usually need spacers to look 'right' on an X5 IMO, my dad has just fitted some Lowenhart wheels to his RRS and chatting with the importer was interesting, basically according to him the pricing for new 22s is in three stages, cheapy reps, then up to a limited group of nice aftermarket wheels (like the ones my dad has,) and then after that you start to approach serious wedge territory where the price doubles and upwards where only the rich would go! I think you'll find more pics of x5s on 22s over on xoutpost where they have the perfect roads in the dry states over there where modifying cars is more commonplace, hope you find what your looking for chap :)
