Can you take a picture of the whole car? I’d like to see it...

Very rural up here. I did not want to mess with an amateur....did cross my mind though, and had to make a choice.

$350?!?!?!?!?

That's a hell-to-the-no for me.
Ben... why haven't you offered these as a group buy?

that is what i suggested in the beginning. costs less and is a much better oem look. satin black or matte silver with matching hubs/hats.

Will do, when I wash.....I think they'll be more prominent once I change to 215s in about a month. 450 have more dense spoke pattern.

IKR, It's going to be quite a combo with those caliper covers. Stunning to say the least.

Dude I'm sad. They don't even look like brake calipers! Mad props for posting though. Very sorry, I'd be missing my $350 for sure.

To each their own. It's your money and it's your taste, so always get what you want and like what your taste prefers. Respect for that.

Now, as far as the product is concerned, I'm very surprised people buy them, especially at such a cost.

Customization is what brought it to 350..regular price is 170, or close to it.

What kind of customization could double the price of those?? You could have found stickers from a kids sticker book to customize those...

This one has nuts and bolts: http://a.co/graynsb

Thanks for sharing but not my thing. I didn't know caliper covers would be this expensive, at $350

If you really had to do this to your X5, you should have at least gotten these.
