The key is to ask for two coats plus a clear coat.

I regret everyday not buying 215's in ferric gray.

Hi, you asked me in a PM for some pics of my 20" 215 reps.
My X is an '06 and is sapphire black. I think the ferric gray looks great with that color combo. A big plus is you don't have to clean them as much as the silver.
I don't think they look like a delicate daisy either.

Thanks lot Bunyan, I really like it,, just a final question. what are the tires sizes? 275/40/20 front and 315/35/20 rear? or both the front and the rear ones are the same????

[Bunyan]

Yep, you got it. Tires are just like you listed (rims are 10" in front 11" in back). I went with the Toyos.
Very happy with the setup.

bunyan, are those in a ferric grey finish? they don't look as glossy, possibly brake dust?

Well, I might be biased, but I really like the way that my "metallic ferric grey" paint job turned out on my wheels. I think they're perfect for the E70.

Phattbam, that is as ferric gray as 2K will get you. You can gladly drop another 4k and get them a little more "polished" but for me she does it.

Brian5, those are money rims. I love seeing the "phat" X roll by struttin the 214's, especially if they're in ferric gray on the black X. You really can't go wrong either way.

@ bunyan, I know just maybe it's the angle and lighting in that picture, I know ferric grey is not an easy color to capture in photos. End result is if you dig it that's all that matters.

@ bryan5, those look cool, almost like a polished finish.
