Some new pics of wheels and wheel arches advice
 

Hey guys, just bought my 2009 Jet Black X5 xDrive48i with saddle brown interior about a month ago and didn't take me very long to get hit with the urge to mod. I just installed the new 20" MRR Ground Force GF06 wheels in gloss black with 20x9" the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. I saw they just became available in 20" a few months ago I also installed the matte black grille and painted the lower mesh grille black.

I purchased the replica wheel arches off ebay and have a few questions:
should I install them myself or am I better off getting them professionally done? Also, what is a fair price to have them professionally installed? Should I just have the rears installed? I do realize that the rear tire sticks out a little farther than the arch but the front tires seem flush already with the stock arches.

I apologize for the pics off my phone and I didn't get a chance to get it all washed up. I will take some better pictures later. Let me know what you guys think or any advice that you think would make it better. Thanks guys!

The wheel arch is easy to do only if you have the rivet tool (something like $20, but it's not a standard one). It's still do-able without it but a shop can probably do the job in 30 minutes with a proper tool.

I hope your arches came with new rivets because the black ones are not reuseable (the few white slide-in ones are though).

This project is next on my list. Just waiting to see if I can find some 20's (214's). B/c I feel like it will look silly with my 19's.
