Well I cannot wait to get my X5 back together (A/C Evap replacement). While in the process of this repair I had my wheels refurbished for another tour of duty but this time I chose a Lexus ISF wheel color known as their Hyper Silver. I think it looks great on the Black X5.

Yeah its amazing how the shade and style of paint (pearlescent) makes such a dramatic difference. Believe me I went back and forth with 3 different types of silvers/finishes before I settled on this one. I am glad that picked this one. Even my neighbor this evening said "so I see you got new wheels for the X5" He was shocked when I told them they are the original wheels just refurbished and placed in new color to achieve a different look.

Great new look for the X. Great price and turnaround too. Wonder how different that looks from the e39 M5 "chrome shadow" silver. I've always liked those as well.
