I see. I do wish you girlies would be more specific with your monikers then 8-)

Assumption, of which i am obviously guilty is allegedly the mother of all...........s, well i think you know what i mean.

I stand by what i said though, and personally think 20's are more than enough, but each to their own, of course :)

:-) I think my moniker is clear enough with the Barbie bit and the photo for good measure! Pmsl! No one takes me seriously anymore so there's no point going in stealth mode.

Yep I think 20's are the limit really.

In your case there clearly can be no doubt. On the other hand "CondorX5" didn't lead me to immediately think feminine. I know now though :)

24's.......no personally as others have said, our roads are just not built for them. First pothole and good bye alloy as they'll just crack. 22's are just right.

If its just about how cheap the rubber is.....get some 15's.....yeah baby... :P

But why did it lead you to "immediately think" masculine ??? Presumption that a) females don't drive or own X5s? b) females are not members of car forums unless clearly identified by a "feminine" monniker?? :fuelfire: :poke: :poke:

Thanks Penny for standing up for the gals in my absence :D and Sanj, be careful......treading on thin ice!!! :poke:

were up to march maybe april now then!! looking at the 22s think there might not be room in the arches for 24s, i just always thaught tyres were like £500 a corner for 24s so when i seen them for £111 it got my mind ticking!

Erm, 20's, 22's, 24's, whatever. If the correct wheels/tyres, should all have the same rolling radious so will fit if you choose it. Wheel widths and offsets may vary 8-)

Condor X5, i apologise for my assumption ;)
