Damn app doesn't post pics like the old one used to

A little morning teaser. Nothing is aired up yet and I still have to install RG sport shops TPMS in thanks to Ben for the speedy fast delivery up the I5 corridor

Can't wait to see these mounted on your car!

Another pic have the TPMS installed, tires inflated, and balanced it all.

Me either, waiting on center caps other than that everything is a go. Just thought I'd run these for show until the weather was on my side so it'll be a dedicated summer set up

Are you keeping them in their original silver finish or going to custom paint them?

They sent them to me with Gunmetal and a brushed aluminum face which I think looks better than any painted option as I do not want to stormtrooper it out like my ML

Ah, I see it now. The inside is gunmetal and the spokes are aluminum?

Yes and the sides and back of the spokes are gunmetal. I'll take some close ups. They look real good in person and complement my silver headlights and brakes since I won't be extensively modifying this until 4 years/50k which ever comes first

Thanks Omar, still feels too stock to go wild on since I don't have the time to do anything else with it. I'm planning on something a little different by the end of this month to make it my own.

You're very welcome. I hear you on the stock feel. Sounds good, keep me posted on the development, buddy. Best of luck

I'll be replying or bumping the thread with updates. Only pro photos go into my original post haha or teasers

Most would not photo shoot in the rain. With your choice of weather, the pics are pretty unusual, well done. The Alpine white looks sharp on the slick black asphalt

Seattle at its finest. It was 65 the night before until 7:30am then we got rain the rest of the day.

X5RIZ · 02-17-2015, 06:33 PM

Nice to see different wheels on an X5

Good job

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".
