I'm excited all over again!

I think I got a little carried away with photos, but these 20" Style 87's have me all excited about my X5, again. I even feel like I'm driving a new X5!

Here are some photos...


BEFORE (with 18's)...



AFTER (with 20's)...

"Hey look, a X5 with replica 87 wheels" just kidding, looks great.

Congrats, very nicely done. That is the classic E53 look that caught my eye years ago.

That's exactly what I'm going for. Since the E70 came out, our E53's are instant classics! The popular style 87 wheels has definitely upgraded the classy look of my X5. While the new body style of the E70 is growing on me, I'm still very happy with my E53. I'm even considering adding "E53" badges above the side markers... or keep it clean-looking.

Those are not OEM wheels. They are replicas.
