New 20" 215s Reps Arrived... BUT

So got my Reps in the mail today. They look amazing. Problem is - I bought the hyper silver 215s 20" reps - they shipped the 20" Ferric Gray.. it looks great though LOL. So I'm thinking about keeping them and telling the company that they had the wrong ones listed on ebay.. They listed "silver" on their auction.

They included caps, and the hubcentric rings to fit on the e53.

I'm thinking of just requesting partial shipping return - i think these will look amazing - and unique on the X5.

How do you think these will look on the LeMans Blue?



Here are the pictures and details of the ebay listing i bought:

pic removed - seller updated ebay listing / img

I think they'll look alright but I like the silver finish better because your x5's color is light and not really dark.

I think I would also prefer the silver w/ LeMans Blue, but I think these ones will still look pretty fantastic.

I think the darker color would look good. Give's it a good balance of light and dark...

Rasta ... to me ... since you have Lemans Blue RBs I think the ferric gray looks better and matches the wheel flares and other dark trim on the car. If you hadn't touched the RBs then I like the hyper silver better.

BUT .. its your call man .. either way it will look awesome! You really can't go wrong.

EXACTLY what i was thinking!! The blue RB give the bottom of the car a dark look anyway... i like yours with silver wheels silver RBs.. so when i opened the box, the first thing i thought was "damn.. i wanted silver.. but these are sweet LOL"

and basically thought the same thing.. Ferric Gray on my LeMans coming right up!!

will update when put on.. is winter over yet? is it safe to put on "summer" wheels? lol not like i have winter ones now right?

I agree, the ferric gray will look much better than the silver
