anyone have these wheels?

I'm thinking about changing my wheels, even though I do like the OEM 20's on my 4.6is... and was wondering if anyone has these wheels with the machined spokes and gloss black lip on their X5. I think being reversed like that would look killa on a black X5. And they come to match the oem sizes, or step up to 22's... Let me know what you think.

I have seen many different aftermarket rims on the X5 and I am very partial to BMW's OE rims, that being said I think they would cool on the 4.6is but I would NOT go 22", I think anything bigger than 20 or 21 would look silly on the X. I am wondering if the 21" 214s made for the E70s would fit the bolt pattern on the 4.6is??

Yeah, I was actually considering these as an option, but think the grey would be not much better than what I have, and the solid black would be too much black on my truck... which is why I would consider the aftermarkets with the black spokes w/machined face and gloss black lip. I think that would be interestingly different. I don't like really deep lips on rims for many reasons, but a mild dish lip would look good if the spoke pattern was right for the vehicle. Too much or too little spoke coverage would kill it.

Either of those BMW OE wheels on your 4.6is would look sick IMO
