Finally pulled the trigger. Very happy with the results. PM me if interested in fitment details.

Looking good.

Apologize for the duplicate pics in the original post...not sure why that happened and don't know how to fix it. Here's a few additional pics with better views of the offset. I was shooting for about flush with the oem fender flares.

Looks very nice. I like it.

Nice! Did you add the Mustang badge on the rear?

Yes I did add the Mustang badge but that's an SMU Mustang (my alma mater) as opposed to a Mustang of the Ford ilk. Fortunately most people wouldn't mistake the two here in the Dallas area...lol.

I like it! This is forgestar right? Classic choice for X5! The offsets are spot on, congrats!

Can you do me a favor and inspect your rear quarter panel right in front of your rear wheel and let me know if you have any small paint chips?

The area I am checking is in the orange section of the body.

POBA · 03-24-2015, 02:11 PM

Congrats!! Beautiful ride. Would you please provide us with more info about these good looking wheels

No chips as of yet but I've logged <1,000 miles with these wheels.

Have you experienced this issue?

I decided to go with 20s primarily because I didn't want to give up any tire width nor did I want to give up any overall height. As you may know, unless you are willing to go with a 305 width in the rear, the tire options for 21s & 22s force a sacrifice in overall height and sidewall.

Forgestar F14s in Brushed Titanium
F: 20 x 10.5, PZero 285/40/20
R 20 x 12, PZero 325/35/20

Ride is an improvement over OEM. Trimmed about 45 lbs or so.

Paul at Howey Industries took great care of me...tell him I sent you. sales@howeyindustries.com
