Style 87 Wheels
 

Well I cannot wait to get my X5 back together (A/C Evap replacement). While in the process of this repair I had my wheels refurbished for another tour of duty but this time I chose a Lexus ISF wheel color known as their Hyper Silver. I think it looks great on the Black X5.

Damn! Looks great!

Yeah its amazing how the shade and style of paint (pearlescent) makes such a dramatic difference. Believe me I went back and forth with 3 different types of silvers/finishes before I settled on this one. I am glad that picked this one. Even my neighbor this evening said "so I see you got new wheels for the X5" He was shocked when I told them they are the original wheels just refurbished and placed in new color to achieve a different look.

How much did it cost to refurb and refinish?

Sweet Jesus

$160 a wheel which includes the following:

• dismount tires from wheels

• straighten
• Curb rash repair
• machine face of wheel
• removal of all old paint
• outgass
• metal prep/ adherance promoter
• black powerder coat
• Silver powder coat
• Pearlescent powder coat
• bake to dry/cure

Drop off by 5pm and ready next day at 9am. I had them install my new tires on the rims. A new set of Vredestein Ultrac Vorti

Titz looking wheels! :thumbup:

Yea man they look nice. Price is decent too. Shops in my area are talking like 3 weeks for somthing like this. Can't be down for that long :(

Those look great! That's an awesome color

Great new look for the X. Great price and turnaround too. Wonder how different that looks from the e39 M5 "chrome shadow" silver. I've always liked those as well.
