Thank You Sir!

I agree with you 100%...for ergonomic's, driver comfort and IMO 'presence' the BMW X5 wins hand down..but to 'DRIVE' it's gotta be the Macan...is the same true of the Cayenne I wonder?

I painted them myself while they were on the car. www.paintscratch.com sells paint in a aerosol can that matches your factory paint. The main reason is I didn't want to pull apart the fender liner to install it on this car. I did it before on my F15 X5 and it was just a hassle.

22"s vs 18"s on my neighbors X5

iconoclast · 03-27-2017, 09:34 AM

I've never seen this finish from the factory on that wheel. Did you have someone brush the wheels and coat them?

Alan l. · 03-27-2017, 10:45 AM

Correct. I found a local guy that does custom polishing and brush work and had him brush all of my wheels then put a clear coat over them. The finish looks amazing in person and its hard to capture in pics. Very happy with how they turned out.

iconoclast · 03-27-2017, 11:00 AM

Well done.

In other words, your car's brakes are bigger than your neighbor's car's wheels.

Really like the brushed look/lighter color on the SV's - great choice!

Yes sir I live on Long Island, but if it was the other day it would not have been me as I have been in Quebec the last week. But I do frequent the Home Depot in Jericho.

hey Alan, if u don't mind me asking, how much did u pay the guy to refinish the BBS?
I've been thinking on something similar myself

turboawd · 03-27-2017, 10:18 PM

i'm not a fan of the red center caps, but those wheels and that finish is remarkable.
is that clear powdercoat or clear paint?

Alan l. · 03-27-2017, 10:21 PM

powder coat
