20" X5 knock offs on 2019 540i?

This didn't get any traction in the wheels section so maybe it will here?
Looking for opinions... I really like the 22" 745 wheels on the 2024 X5 and found knock offs that are supposed to fit the G30. I have a 2019 Bluestone 540i and was curious if you guys thought these would look good on the car and if the offsets will work with or without spacers?

IDK, 22's??? Too big for this car. You would also need a really super low profile tire to maintain the correct speedo calibration and not fuck up iDrive.

These are 20" knock offs of the 22" OEM X5 wheels. I worry enough about damaging 20" wheels. I'd be scared to drive my car with 22's with all of the pot holes we have around the DC metro.

Aahhh, I missed that! I do like the look of these wheels. It's going to cost you $2,000 though with shipping. There are so many used wheel deals out there for OEM wheels. I am not sure I would trust chinese knock-offs for something safety related.

I agree and am definitely a bit hesitant about Chinese knock offs for that very reason but I do really like the machined face look with the gloss black inner on my Bluestone car and black trim bits all over it (pic below). The HRE Flowform line isn't much more expensive (factoring in shipping for these) and look nice but there's so many wheels that look pretty much the same. A bit boring. I want something that's kind of unique but still looks stock-ish and these fit that thought.
If the machined faced OEM M3 825's worked I'd definitely go with those but unfortunately they don't.
Thanks for the reply!

The style of these wheels would definitely look awesome on your color. Good luck and keep us posted no matter what direction you go in! Seller has good ratings.

These car bend enough rims. I’d stay far away of Chinese wheels. You are
