X5m 20 Vs 21
I ordered 20 inch wheels and so far so good. I did this to make the option of switching tires in winter easier.
Did I make a mistake? Is there really a difference? Experts please comment. |

I'm no expert, but are you going to use your 20" wheels for Winter snow/ice tires? I don't think it's recommended to take the tires off the wheels so many times. You should buy a dedicated Winter wheel/tire set. If you use the current 20" 611M wheels, you might have trouble finding Winter tires for the rears.
As far as ride quality, I just had my 20" 611M wheels swapped to the 21" 612M, and I don't notice much of a difference in terms of ride quality.

When I inquired about winter rims/tires through BMW last week, I was told the set AwesomeM3 posted online is the only current set for the 2015 X5 M, meaning they will only come in the darker grey finish like the ones AwesomeM3 posted on here, and with the Pirelli winter tires on them. I was also told availability for the set is currently slim to none. I was told to check back end of July or beginning of August to purchase a set.
