I'm back and ready to mod (need opinions)

Hey guys, I just finished my move to Scottsdale and I needed some input on choices. I have an 05 4.8 black sapphire mettalic on black. I have decided on HRE 647R's but I am having trouble on selecting a finish. I am going for the 22's, would you think that color matched black would look mean? Or should I go the safe route and get brushed? I have been thinking about this for a month now and havent been swayed one way or the other. Any input would be appreciated. Also, maybe someone wouldnt mind doing a photoshop? I'll get a side shot done today.

Thanks

Wow, that's a lot of wheel...

I think chrome is a little too much with such a big wheel

and the silver well is too plain... hmmm what shoes would look best? How about two tones? Black inner with a chrome lip.

Hehe, it is a big arch though and I am not messing with the suspension. It would either be chrome lip and black center or chrome lip brushed. I too hate all chrome. I think the blacked out center will make it look a bit smaller than the brushed. Thoughts?

BTW. any chance of someone with PS changing the hue on that white one to black black? I just got a new laptop and only have paint

Don't go black rims. You can't even see it!

Man the black with chrome lip is the way to go!

Check out Wuzin's post with pics of 22" HREs with charcoal finish. I think they look good with chrome lip.

You're back? Where were you? :welcome: to AZ. Where did you move from? I live in Chandler, and go to Scottsdale often. I would love to see that ride sometime.

Greg

p.s. It's good to have another AZ person here

Lemans, thanks for that link & pic...I'm not normally a DubFan, but those are seriousazz and goodlooking wheels!

Dunno what happens when that mini sidewall runs into a less than snooker table flat, road? BR,md

I keep trying to talk myself out of the black center, but dayam it looks good. Im sold on the black/chrome lip. Now, silver or red BBK?

Also, has anyone removed the roof rails? I think it would improve the lines. Opinions?

BBK? Are you referring to brakes, exhaust, ect? I will assume brake calipers since you mentioned red. Normally I would be a purist and say red, but with the chrome lip - silver is the way to go. Regarding the roof rails... WHY? They match the vehicle and are very practical for bikes, luggage, snowboards, etc. You have a X5 not a Suburban, that extra cargo capacity on top could come in handy.
