Personally I don't like anything that's after market on a car! OEM all the way! After market = chav!  )

oem = usual sheep

£2k rims maybe but makes car look cheap IMO - as do rear lenses with tint and limo window tint.

I accept 535dboys advisory may seem harsh but personally speaking the mot manual should be rewritten to make them a fail - purely on aesthetic grounds.

I have only  seen one style or aftermarket 22's that kind of work on E53 - IMO alpinas and factory 20's work but only with arches as sport exclusive and i.s. models.

but its his car and he likes them, it would be boring if we all had the same (from me that currently owns two un modded cars )

I am not disputing choice(s) may have been made. Choices are of course usually a personal thing.

The X5 is a nice looking car from factory & I find that after market additions just cheapen the look of a BMW!  )

Why have standard and plain be different 

The wheels are designed for the car so changing them will make the handling of the car worse!  )
