1) Swearing isn't permitted on the boards, especially from a newbie w/ 3 posts.
2) You could have simply PM'ed him instead of asking here.
3) If you meant A.S.S. as an acronym for Advan Sporty Sports and were staying on topic, then ignore 1 and follow 2.
4) If you actually meant to call me an ass, then I fail to see why...be it that the trim is either chrome or painted black, how else would someone keep it clean and shiny expect to do just like I suggested?

The trim around the windows looks like the shadowline package. Mine is chrome. I painted the trim around my windows to make it match the shadowline trim I have around the front and rear windows in my 7.

chefwong,,, is that the csl wheel ? Local upgrade shop has similar wheel and been thinking of upgrading from 18'. Is it exact fit to x5 ? I have a '06 4.4 non-sport .

The wheels are indeed Rac RG4's....I had to get the lug bolts bored out as well as getting special bolts of 1.5 with a 17mm head...The offsets for the fronts are 37 and the rears are 25. I do not know what the OEM CSL offsets are. Been super busy at life....will try to get pics of treads but as of now, there is a pending buyer...
