I am thinking about adding some bigger wheels to the x3. I was thinking of going with these 20inch BMW X5 4.6 staggered factory wheels. Here it is on a x3 sport (same color as mine) that I took a photo of on the day of delivery, and posted on the bmw board. Your thoughts about these wheels?

I like the way they look, really clean on that car, especially silver on silver.
If you want a set of those just email me I can get you a nice deal on a set of OEM's.
