Beautiful wheels, always loved these on your X5. I still recall your 'vote' trying to decide on wheel color.

I'm sorta glad these are on the opposite coast from me & you won't ship, otherwise I might have bought them!

GLWS, hopefully they go to another forum member.

That all changes when you lower the vehicle. You'll need a camber kit if you want to stay flush when lowered since the negative camber will tuck the wheels in. That is the case with any wheels.

Did you get the camber kit for yours?

Yes I installed front and rear camber kits because the negative camber just killed my whole vision with a low flush stance. I was able to get to exactly -1 degree camber on all 4 corners.

Front - KMAC Adjustable Bushings
Rear - SPC Adjustable Control Arms

Are these model-specific?

Erik can you provide links to these parts? Many forum members have this same question for those of us that have lowered.

Here you go. These work with the F15/16/85/86.

I did the same on mine and am glad I did it.

Someone please hook a brother up with a Vossen rep (and a financial advisor)!

If you was in NY, I’d recommend the distributor I’m using then again I’m still waiting on my Vossen wheels but not the distributor’s fault.

Do you think these improve handling\tire wear even on a more modest lowering?

P. S. Sorry for extending the "hijacking"

No problem!

I think it would help prolong tire life even with a marginal drop, but don't think you'd notice a difference in handling. I really went with the camber kits for aesthetics.

These are beautiful. Where in MA? I'm in Acton, MA. Do you have a closeup of the chipped wheel?

Thank you

Erik - if you ordered those wheels again, would you get the exact same offsets? The +32 seems like not enough to be flush with the fender.

Yes I would for sure. Before I was lowered, they were absolute string drop flush.

F85MTuNED · 12-16-2020, 07:08 PM

These not gone yet? Stop wasting time people... hurry up and buy so you can do your ceramic treatment over the winter and be ready for next spring / summer lol.

classic_erik · 12-19-2020, 01:14 PM

A couple photos of the rock chip. You could easily get some wheel touch up paint to cover it up. It's honestly such a small nick.

Lighting can get crazy with this brushed dark black finish.
