BMW X5 Tires and Wheels

Does anyone know of a site that shows the new light alloy wheels mentioned in the new brochure and price list, i.e., style 211, style 214, style 212, etc.
I love the new Y rims you see in all of the pictures compared to the old ones....ahhhhh.
Does anyone know how flexible BMW dealers are in switching tires/rims on a X5 and if so how much might it cost to say get something like those new Y rims on a X5 3.0 (I only seems like a $950 option ...w/sports package only) ?

All I see currently at Edmunds are the BMW provided photos, like this one:

Check over in 2007 BMW X5 - someone may have some links there if no one pops in here with one.

I am about to need replacing tires on my 2002 X5. I live in Alabama. Any suggestions for best ride, handling, etc?
Thanks,

Should have indicated that I have 3.0 engine and would like to consider a slightly larger tread width.
Thanks again,
Bob

I need advice. I have a 4.4i with the sport package. I have Michelins on the car now. They are needing replacement and I'm not sure what tire is best. I spend a lot of time of the highway. Any suggestions?

thanks

Anybody had experience with Toyo Proxes S/T on a X5? I had them on a Mercedes ML320 and preferred them over Michelin. Thanks,
Bob

Yes - I had stock BMW 17" Wheels / Tires and upgraded to 20" w/ 295 / 45 - 20 Toyos. They handle great in the dry, but the stock tires (M & S) are a lot better in wet. Dennis

Dennis - When you mentioned above that you upgraded to 295/45/20 toyos, were these really 45 profile or were they 295/40/20. Asking as I'd also like to upgrade and would have thought that the 45s would have been too high for the wheel arch. It would be great if you could confirm - Thanks James
