Black rims look so Gangsta. Really takes the X5 down in class IMHO.

and that's why it YOUR opinion... not sure this is the right quote, but close enough... one mans trash is perhaps another mans treasure. Not to say that the black/black combo is trash. I think the 215's in black look great. Very nice ride, indeed...



I just went with ferric grey 215's on black, but I only went with that color because I found a good deal from a good guy on a used set near my house. Prob would have leaned to black as well otherwise.

Do you have to go over speed bumps at like 1mph with 22s? Or just avoid them altogether? Man, there's not much rubber between the road and the rim for a >5klb vehicle!

That looks amazing! Can you tell me more about painting your bumpers? How much did it cost you to have all bumpers and wheel flares painted? Did the body shop recommend against it? Do you know what process they used....sanding all plastics before painting?

By the way...this is just my personal opinion but....you should do the black kidney grills, get the black vinyl tape to do the chrome window trim in black as well, go with some darker tints and consider some spacers to push out the 215's to sit flush with the extended wheel flares.....at that point it'll be completely blacked out! There's another guy on this forum who has that exact setup and it looks crazy!

^^ That looks like the pre-LCI Msport kit. Stay tuned and you'll see his posts about rock chips.
