Some pics of my rims installed!
 
Hey everyone, I was originally going to put the rims on in Spring, but I couldn't fight the urge, and installed them. I barely drive the X in winter, so I think I'll be ok.

Anyways, onto the pics! The car needs a drop badly. I'll be getting Intrax springs in February. :)


This is how I brought the rims to my shop, just thought it was a funny pic. It looks as if I'm kidnapping the rims, lol.

The rear wheels/tires look very beefy. I'm running 20mm spacers in the rear.

Hope you all enjoyed the pics. I'm loving the X right now. :D

WoW! Those look awesome, & huge! Are they 22's? Not much sidewall there. How do they ride? Do you have spacers up front too? - looks a bit wide there too...

Schweet :thumbup:

Yep, 22x10.5 all around. They ride great, I was very surprised. The tires (Dunlop Sp9000) are great too, surprisingly quiet and comfortable. And I have 5mm spacers in front. :)

Sweeeeeet!!!!!! Your ACS and Wuzin's HRE are two of the nicest 22" I've seen. Congrats!

Damn, you're even more impatient than me. I usually put on the summer shoes sometimes in March.

Thanks bro, I can't wait to see your HRE's on. :)

Looks sharp! :thumbup:
With 10.5 rims I wouldn't think you need spacers? What are the tire specs?

The tires are 285/30/22 all around. I didn't think I'd need them either, but now the rims are perfectly lined up with the body.

But 5mm spacers are negligible anyway.

Wagner 01-24-2006 08:57 PM

Marvelous! Those look great :thumbup:

Hey Dbock, one thing I hate about changing wheels is that I will have to change all the sig pics. ;)

X5Jay 01-24-2006 09:30 PM

Just lookin' at your pics again - I really like the look - especially how well you have them lined up with the body. I agree that it needs a drop, but I wouldn't go too far down with it - like in your photoshopped sig - I think that would ruin the ride for you. Nice job - looks like you have "the eye"...

X5Jay 01-24-2006 09:34 PM

BTW - I'm amazed at how well they fit in the back of your X - thought it would be much tighter... I always liked Dunlop tires too - have had a couple sets in the past on other cars - mixed reviews on them though - I thought they seemed really soft and didn't last very long. Perhaps that's what's helping your ride out a bit. Probably very sticky though!

TQ2K 01-24-2006 09:36 PM

Awesome!!! And I agree on the needed drop.

ChristopherM3 01-24-2006 09:47 PM

Dblock, looks good!!!! Nice job!!! Nice wheels can change the look completely, eh?

motordavid 01-24-2006 09:54 PM

DBlock,
Serious Wheels and they look very good! :thumbup:

And for the clear corners you did.

LeMansX5 01-24-2006 09:58 PM

Looking good, Amar.

gregwx5 01-25-2006 12:17 AM

Damn them things are huge...looks good. Can't wait to throw my rims on again..its like getting a new car!

PersonaNonGrata 01-25-2006 01:44 AM

Looks nice! It's a classic and clean look. :thumbup:

vinuneuro 01-25-2006 02:08 AM

Very nice! It would be out of this world with the 4.6 kit.

powers1 01-25-2006 06:08 AM

Great looking wheels!Those Acs are one of my favourite looking wheels and the design seems to get better with age!I had these in 17" on my M3-E30 way back in 1992 and it looked awesome.
