from states but currently reside in UK.. at least for another 40 months
i never fancied the 22"s or 24"s. they look silly on any vehicle if you ask me. the only reason i have 20"s on mine cause it came out of factory like this and they look good on my X5. other wise i am happy with 18 or 19s on the X5. i used to have a 540i with 18s on it and thay was pushing my limits on getting a larger wheel on a saloon/sedan :)
on the other hand you would take a lot of attention if you had 24s on your X5.
i am taking enough attention with my X5 as there is no other like mine on the base i am stationed so i don't need anymore attention ;)

:withstupid: 24" - why???? A good looking X with Super luxury interior with lovely heated leather and you want to spoil that with a spine-wrecking almost-tyreless ride!! You'll feel every little uneven bit or tiny stone on our supremely-NOTcared-for UK roads and give your passengers the ride from hell!!!! :cry: :fuelfire:
