Neither. Get something with thicker spokes. The bolder spokes will go better with the heft of that car.

All the thicker looking spoked wheels look ghetto. I agree though that thicker looks better with a beefier car, but unless I do OEM (which I'm not), it's not happening.

Those are a bit too racy for an X5.

What about these? Keep in mind, all of these silver ones will be powdercoated black, so don't think too much about the design itself, as it will be all blacked out.

If you think about the new Audi Q5 with the S series wheels, these might work in powdercoat black...
