Question 2016 X5 Diesel. 20" Sport wheel vs 19" std

I am about to finalize the purchase of a new 2016 X5. Curious as to whether anyone can give me some opinions on the 20" Style 451 wheels, vs the standard 19" models. I really like the look of the 451's and understand that tires will not last as long. Considering getting a 2nd set of 19" for winter.
Also, is the Nappa leather that much better than the std Dakota? Thanks for any feedback.

I have 20" style 451 and love it. 20" is a must have.

RSB222 I ordered the 20" 469's because I was told by both the dealer and BMW HQ that these were All Season's - Wrong!

So I got a good deal from BMW and the dealer on a second set of 19" 467's I use with Winter tyres.

Wear is pretty bad on the 20" Conti's but they look great!

The 19s are working well for my needs. Tons of tire choices in 19 inch less so the larger wheel diameter you go up.

Ah, the wheel choice. 20's look pristine on an X5. The ride change is unnoticeable so go big or get a Honda!

Yes. I agree. I ended up ordering it with the 20's, and the Nappa Mocha package. Looking forward to getting it !!
