salamat pre... congrats on your new X... Rivet gun is a must, if you have it, should take you 1 hour max for the whole job... took me and my pal almost 2 hours because i just used 2 pliers, one to pull the plastic thingy and one to hold the round plastic close to the plastic trim (flares):rofl:

oem 87s are nice but replicas are okay too, now it depends on where you would get them, i think AFS is okay based on the countless threads i read :rofl:

let me know if you have questions re running boards installation.

Jay, I can't wait to see your X in 20s. Pare this would look nicer to make it slightly different from the others IMHO.

george, those rims look nice too, but i have always been a fan of 5 spokes rims, easier to clean... :nanana:

Whichever way you go, bagay. As mentioned you can't go wrong with silver. here's how the rims look like (courtesy of cpatzer) in the car. But I agree the 87s are the classic:

Looks good. Love the wheels. I think I like the black dual tip exhaust over the oval, but either way, nice x5.
