Which rim do you guys think would match nicer on an Alpine White X6? Or are there any other suggestions?


PS. Don't let the Hamann body kit confuse you.

not sure if black wheels are the way to go with it... What size are you looking to get?

..that front bumper on the second pic is pretty serious..

I'm thinking 20". They are for my winter setup so I don't want to go too big.

The Hamann front bumper looks a bit too busy for me. I like something cleaner.

Saw an X6 the other day with this wheel (hyper black disc/polished rim) and Brembo BBK~ Looked awesome!

Here's the link~

I'm also looking for something that has the pattern of #2 but without the stainless steel lip. I'm going to use them in winter and the road salt will make the stainless steel lip very very ugly. :thumbsdown: Anyone has something like that in mind?

Those Hamann Edition Race wheels (2nd pic) are AWESOME! And very pricy at close to $10K for a set of 20s. But the wheels on that car are actually 22s IIRC from another thread I've seen.
