Has anyone painted your wheels yourself? I recently did mine but Im not sure if I like the color...


What do you think?

Looks kinda cool! Similar ish to the finish on a set of wheels we have discounted right now (found HERE), which in person looks great!

@cpgifford

I don't think that there's anything wrong with the color. If you want your X5 to look better, you need some new wheels :)

^+1, Looks great for a set of crap stockers (I have the same ones, now they are my snow wheels). Grab a nice set of staggered rims and tires, they'll make all the difference.

Looks good, you only need a set of spacers now, 30mm or 45mm will do nicely.

Those particular wheels are Scratch and Dents if you look at the photos you can see the blemish on one of the wheels (about an inch long would probably be hidden by a tire). They are supppper cheap to try to move them out of the warehouse to make room for new goodies. As far as how long will the deal last. We only have 1 set of those wheels scratch and dent so when they sell the deals gone. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in them.

Lovely rims. I was looking at that type a couple of years back, but were too much money for me at the time-about £1600 if my memory serves me correct. At that price they're an absolute bargain! :wow:

There's no way the tyre will cover the large scratch, however a touch-up pen/brush will easily sort it. The 4 little marks aren't even worth thinking about! :thumbup:
