Can the black side vents be easily removed post install. I have been debating on if I should add to my white X5.

I really like these wheels

They looked great from the side view but they were a square setup so I wanted a more staggered look

I get the heavy part but what's the difference in the stance? I'm assuming the reps were 10" wide front and 11" wide rears? What tire sizes were you running? BTW, the Vorsteiner wheels are nice looking as well and you've convinced me my next X5 will be spacegray

Yes they were 10" front 11" in the rear but I wanted a more aggressive tire size on them and instead of getting rid of new tires for another set of new tires, I just sold them locally for a decent price and got the vorsteiners altogether

I see, I have to ask then what size tires are you running on the rear with the Vorsteiners?

With the new vorsteiner vff109, I'm running 295/30/22 front and 335/25/22 rear

That's the same sizes I plan on running with either the style 375 or 612 replicas (still deciding). I know that it's recommended to use a minimum of 11.5" wide wheel with the 335/25/R22's but plenty here have gotten away with it.

Congrats bro! Looking good!

Sweet setup! Is the finish gloss on your wheels?

[M302_imola]

Is it weird my favorite wheel setup is also the cheapest, that being the 310M reps? It's almost as if the wheels are color matched to the body color.

depends how much tape you use the vents usually have horizontal and vertical slats. since your fender does not have the slats, you'll have to break them off and use double sided tape.

[trlengle]

When you say "usually", do you mea the X5M's have the slats?

Yes x5m fenders have slats 😜. Also are your fenders made of metal ?

[spacegray_f15]

They came with tape on the back of them when I bought them, it was almost the entire backing that was covered with tape, had them on for a year now and no issues at all

My car came with cheap blacked out side vents from eBay 😂. I put he stocks back on but it now has broken slats. I cut up small pieces of this scotch double sided tape from Home Depot .. viola!!
