BMW X6 - New 21" Wheels

Hi Guys...This is my first post today , and I wanted to share a few photos of a new set of wheels I saw installed on an X6 at my local dealer. The wheels size is 21", but I don't know the model number.

I really like the design of those wheels, especially on the X6. They look huge in real life. My only concern is that they would give a rough ride compare to 20" ones. Does anyone have an idea, from previous experience, if the ride is acceptable with 21" wheels? I'm actually starting to like this set over the standard X6 wheels. Let me know what you think...

I think those are style 275. $6,000.

NICE!

I have concerns re: upfront cost, potholes, shorter tire life, replacement costs, winter driving to hospital in middle of night when slick and before snow is plowed.

I really like them! Plus...easy to clean.

Reoprof...You gotta see them in real life to appreciate their sleek look. They look bigger and sportier compare to the 20" ones. However, I'm also concerned about the usability...

Very nice wheels.The 21's seem to be just about right,IMO, in filling up those huge wheel wells on the X6.I don't have any personal experience w/ driving an X6 w/ 21's.I'm sure Adaptive Drive will soak up some of the small bumps.....but w/ those low aspect ratio tires,you'll feel VERY connected to the road..... Thanks for the pic's! PalBay
