Special thanks to VMR wheels and Cullen Cheung Photography.

Awesome pictures with rims and "weather"... with all the snows we have in NE, all of sudden, I start to appreciate the rain fall in Seattle.

At least, we can keep the F15 "cleaned".

Well mine hasn't been driven much having too much fun in the AMG on wet roads haha I really wished we could get some powder here this year so I can see how the X5 does personally in snow.

No fuckin way on S Tacoma way and 84th in Tacoma? That's right down the street from my businesses!

Thanks guys, without your amazing wheels and help for sizing we'd all be lost

opasha · 02-19-2015, 03:59 PM

Taran, if you have a non-staggered setup (mine is similar but 22x10 et 40 on all 4 and same tire size for all 4 285/35R22), why is your rear offset less? I thought you only do less rear offset if you have a wider rear wheel, so it keeps the wheels aligned with the fender correctly if going for the flush exterior look. Do you have larger rear spacers (if you have spacers on)? That would then make sense. I'm a bit confused. Can you walk me through this? Thanks, bud. Here's a picture showing the differences of how larger offset makes the wheel go wider out as opposed to smaller offset. I'm no expert and recently learned about all this stuff last year when I started my mods (beginning with my wheel/tire upgrade).

Taran.J · 02-19-2015, 04:41 PM

@opasha PM'd. Text me.

Taran.J · 02-19-2015, 07:11 PM

Update: Rear door ash trays were delivered to the house today. I will attempt to install one and if it goes flawlessly I will make a video on how to pop the other side out so you don't have to hear me calling it names.

Thank you. I'll be slowly progressing on the F15 as new products come forth in the industry.

Taran.J · 02-21-2015, 07:58 PM

Massive thanks to PARTS@STBMW for getting me priority shipping on some bmw performance parts and other bits and pieces for the F15 build.

The next few weeks are going to be interesting for the X5 game.

Yeah Brotha had to do them. These Alpine white and shadow line ones look too two toned and funky.
