The tank has arrived (and it's dustless)...PICTURES

Got my 20" staggerred style 87 with Toyo Proxes on today (275 front, 315 rear). Had the stealer also install the Axxis pads which I had a lot of fun 'braking' in

Quick question - i got slight vibration of the steering wheel at certain speeds..I read that it will/should disappear shortly.. can someone confirm?!

Next mods are the sidesteps (this or next weekend) and the new front mud flaps

Pictures below...

Beautiful car! I think you should have them check the balancing again. Don't think the vibration will disappear by itself.

Nice!!! How 'dustless' are the pads? Once the vibration goes away (I heard it will), I'm curious to know how it handles with the 20s and if you notice any signifigant difference in ride/handling.

That is beautiful! Very, very classy.

I'd agree, get your balancing checked.

Looks fantastic. Those are still some of the nicest wheels for the X5.
