I guess I've been away too long or nobody cares about a little old X5. 
I'm not sure I love the design of the 2nd wheel for a truck. Keep in mind these are 18's with a thick, 50 sidewall and a lot of gap in the well. I was thinking #1 would look better, but maybe it's the red stripe?

Go for the time attack. More aggressive. Fits in with the heavily modded/aggressive look of your X5.

I like #2 if it was for a sedan. Hell, I had similar wheels like #2 on my 530 and love the look.

I voted for #1
throw a right angled red pinstrip down the side of your x5 and make it the new and improved A-Team Mobile after you throw those wheels on

I think I might be screwed. I think I have to do #2. #1 is going to take over a week and I'm heading to my house in Vermont next week, for a week and need my winter wheels on, as the roads are in bad shape. This sucks. 
Kerry - Lend me your 19's for a week. It's not going to snow in NY until January.

Dude, can I be honest? I don't really care - I'll be honest anyway I don't really think either one of those designs is a particularly great fit for an X5 (especially, after the summers that you have on right now!). Are you sure there isn't another wheel design out there you like for your truckie?
