Wheel specs:
SM5 Deep Concave
-22x10 Front / 22x12 Rear
-Gloss Black Centers
-Brushed Aluminum Lips
-Gloss Black Inners
-Brushed Aluminum Caps
-Weight Reduction Pocketing

This X5 5.0i M Sport has H&R suspension, BMW Performance Grills with custom ///M stripes, gloss black roof, custom painted brakes with the ///M logo, and tinted reflectors!

Let us know what you think, we love how this one came out!!

Not feeling it at all. Your SM7 or R10 wheels in a single tone would have looked a hundred times better. The two tone makes the 22s look like there's too much going on. It might have looked better on a black sapphire metallic X5. Sorry, just being honest

Love it!

That’s the beauty of being able to customize wheels to your liking, you build them exactly how you would like them on your own vehicle and how you envision your vehicle to look once completed!

Everyone has their own taste and is entitled to their own opinion. Thank you for the feedback!

@Rob@SW, you're very right. Everyone has their own taste and I hope I did not offend you with my comment

. On second look on my computer (saw it on my phone earlier), it does not look bad. I'm sure they look much better in person. Sometimes, pictures definitely do not do a car justice

.

@r33, Ben, did you send him H&R springs? Is that why his car looks lowered? I really really want to improve my suspension since I have the stock suspension. Will the springs simply lower the car (I don't want my car lower) or will it give it a tighter feel without giving me wheel rub issues (since you already know I have a tiny bit of rub with my thicker tire tread). Thanks, bud!

That car uses rear self-leveling I believe. So H&R has the spring.
In your case, I wouldn't lower your car, since you will have more rubbing issue due to your tire sizes.

I have to agree with the not my taste side. Only chiming in since you asked for our thoughts.

SO the brake kit is stock right? Thought it looks too small for m brakes.

I like everything except for the massive drop. The car looks too slammed for my taste.

Yes, that is stock brakes with custom painted caliper.

Nice man...love the look. REALLY makes me want to swap out my 469's.

bg_27 · 09-12-2014, 12:50 PM

wow looks great!

newtlicious · 09-21-2014, 03:17 PM

Boy, 22s really disappear on these X5s but I can't find a decent 23 inch tire to save my life. Does anybody make them? I don't want mine to look too cartoonish though. I'm not a fan of the stagecoach look.

22s def don't disappear. The wheels Rob chose are dual tone, which make them look smaller. Look at other 22s and you'll see
