Tire Rack's X1 imaging isn't up yet, so I can't simulate the wheels on the vehicle. So it's a bit tough because I've never bought SUV wheels before and have no clue what will look good.

Suggestions?

Maybe this?

Something beefier like Sparcos?

More classic split spoke? Would that look weird on an SUV?

These are only $128.. similar to some older E53 X5 5 spoke..

Although these are based on a Mini platform, is it still 5x120 72.56 CB?

edit: nm found it, it's different
5x112 66.6mm CB with 47-52mm offsets


I think I'm going with these, way more than I should spend on winters but they are too sexy to pass up
