Here are the pictures. Not a proper pictures. I hope Atomic80, which supposedly attending, got a better pictures.
The multispoke is the new design, I haven't decided which wheels to keep. Most likely will go with the new design. They are 22" btw.

THEY LOOK AWESOME!!! Congrats Ben! I would definitely go with the gunmetal ones on your left side. They look boss. I'm very impressed, my friend . See...the right dress shoes make or break a suit .
HRE must have hooked you up for displaying your car like this, haha .

The debate is, I got multispoke on my F10 already.
Debating maybe I should go with P104.

The P104 def looks awesome, but that color is not good because it is so invisible. If you got a machined or alloy or gunmetal color, then def yeah because they are very aggressive looking. I like them too, just not that bronze gold color. BTW, your car has almost 1000 likes on FB (https://www.facebook.com/HREperforma...15972&filter=3) and is def the best car at the HRE booth.
Also, after you decide, you should def do a sick photo shoot for it . Just an example how beautiful a BMW can look . Jason knows all about it. Actually, HRE should do one for you for free for publicity on those rims and how good they look on X5s/Other SUVs: HRE Photoshoot for ML63. Just an idea if you're thinking about it:

No spacer. I am going to ask HRE to make one with better offset or wider for the rear. If I am doing custom wheels, I will not settle with spacer. I am thinking of doing P104 with the P103 finish. Need more space to clean up the Brembo's,

They look good. Last minute change of plans and didn't head down so I'm sad I couldn't see it in person.
Didn't realize you went HRE, too.

Didn't know the looks of it until a few days ago. I couldn't mention anything until they launched the P103.

They need an X5 for Bimmerfest and they found mine. AC Schnitzer also offer me the wheels and kits. But, I decided to go with HRE.
But ACS was different case, they offered me because we know each other. I guess that could be the good thing for being in the industry.

Also, @r33, I agree about the spacers. I have talked to many wheel/tire guys I personally know from my home town ranging from ages 30 to 60+. Spacers CAN be done, but are not worth the RISK. None of my tire/wheel guys recommended it when I asked about using spacers. Any sort of tiny defect/problem can send your wheel off and cause a big accident. Many people have successfully done it, but the risk will always be there because it's metal rubbing metal if I'm not mistaken, and the friction of that will eventually lead to some random wear depending on how people drive/what conditions they drive in. I'm not saying spacers are wrong or anything like that due to many people having done them...but the reality is those people are a minority. A 6000 lb vehicle with tires/wheels that are technically not supposed to be above 21" with adding parts that technically shouldn't be there in the first place...well, logically, you know what I'm getting at . Just a word of caution to anyone considering spacers...read, read, and read again from forums/reviews/people who know more than you. I don't know nearly as much, but all of this information has been given to me from people that know much more than me, and I'm just sharing their words of caution with everyone. That way no one just jumps in without reading/learning about the pros and cons. Back to car - p104 with p103 color would definitely make your car look like a beast. Do it!

@GregD, thank you.
@Ggluck3, yes I got my car lowered as Opasha mentioned. @Opasha, to correct you, running spacer is fine. It is not going to do metal to metal rubbing. The spacer will just be sandwiched between the wheel and the hub. The main reason spacer is best to be avoided, is because a bad quality spacer will give you a vibration. And when you use spacer, you will need a longer wheel stud, which with improper torque to the wheel lug bolt will also gives you vibration. But, that is depending on how thick of spacer that you are putting on. It is unavoidable if you are using a pre-made wheel and you want the wheel to sit flush to the fender. In my case, since HRE is build to order wheel, it should be build correctly from the beginning, I shouldn't need to put on spacer to have the wheel sit flush to the fender. Otherwise, why would I spend that much money for custom wheel. As for the wheel, I am still confused. Maybe @wdimagineer can give me some input. Which wheel are you getting? So I can get a same one, j/k. I will get a different design I mean.

Ah, you're right, thanks for the correction. I forgot they mentioned vibration being the biggest issue. What are you leaning towards right now in terms of wheel style/color. Has wdimagineer put his new wheels on yet? Thanks for the feedback, bro!

Ben, do they actually spec the P101/104 for SUV's? I have the S101 in 20's on my R8 and love them. I for some reason thought they were only for cars.

Ben, do you have a ballpark figure for how much the new HRE styles cost for our X5? Thanks

I think retail price is around $2000/wheel for standard finish.
