Very nice like the rims really gives the X a different look. Why did you have to install wheel arches?

Two reasons actually.

First, they are necessary to be legal. Would a cop ticket me? Probably not but I don't want to find out.

Second, with the wheel arches not installed the wider tires spray muddy water ALL OVER the side of my X. After only going up to the mountains once (the roads were bare and wet with a little sand) it looked as though I had given my car a mud bath from the door handle down.
