New wheels look good. Can't wait to see them on the car.

Also, new wheels mean that I don't have to comment that I don't like the deep dish wheels from the first post. I was going to say that they look like somebody had wheels lying around and decided to throw them on an X6. There's no way that anybody would actively choose those wheels for the car.

I totally understand, because that's exactly what happened.

I had the current wheels in storage and thought I could recycle them for my new X6, but I can agree and admit that they were nice for their time but dated now.

Looking forward to mounting the new wheels ASAP and I will definitely post pics the day they are on, lol

Those new Signature rims look ace, can't wait to see them on the car.

Like others have said, not a fan of the deep dish ones but glad you got these new ones to put on.

As I also have an X6 in Space grey, I would love to know if you decide to drop it once the new wheels are on.

I am currently donning the 469M in Jet black so holding back on any wheels for now but be curious what yours looks like.

Congratulations again on the new car. I visited your thread and left you some support there as well.

You are going to be very happy behind the wheel, I'm sure of it.

To answer your question, I don't plan on lowering my X6. I like the ride height and ground clearance for the rough roads out here.

From my experience, I've had 2 cars and 3 SUVs. I really value the ride height you get when in a taller vehicle. I can admit that the lowered look is a bit more appealing, but I still need to be able to climb snow mounds and deal with some rough road conditions during my normal commuting so the stock Springs work to my advantage.

Besides, when I built my X6, I made sure to check off all of the driving enhancement options,(ultimate driving machine, amirite) so when I switch from comfort to Sport, the car suspension physically and noticeably lowers and tightens, so I'm not planning to change the springs.

I would like to thank all of the encouragement, motivation and "peer pressure" I got from all of you, lol.

Sorry for the dark pics, but the weather has been pretty gray all week. I will put up a few more when things clear up and I get her cleaned up.

Special thanks to the guys at Signature. Superb customer service and smooth ordering process with a quick turn around time. I recommend anyone looking for aftermarket wheels to give them a shot.

Thanks fellas. I appreciate all of the positive comments.

I got a few good mod ideas from the guys during the meet last weekend, so I have a few plans for her!

Thanks, Ben.

The tire shop made me a bit nervous when they said the TPMS sensors might cause a bit of a problem, but everything was mounted successfully and working properly.

I told them I got the sensors from a reputable source and they are barely a year old, so no funny business, lol.

I'm going to PM soon on a few items to see what you can do for me.

Some tire shop like to play tricks.
Because they want to rob you on a new aftermarket TPMS that they are selling.
60% of my TPMS customers got harrased by the tire shop.

Love the new wheels.

I didn't like the deep dish you had before.

Looks so much better than with the old wheels you had on before! I think deleting the front side reflectors would improve the looks much, much more.

Finally got around to installing the double slat kidney grilles and spoiler I ordered from R33_RGSport.

Ben is always incredibly helpful and the quality of the parts is top notch.

I will put better pics up after a wash.

I'd be embarrassed to roll around on the wheels in the first post.

The wheels in above post are killer. One of the best aftermarket wheels on any X I've seen. I'd pass on the purple lug nuts and match the wheel.
