***Pix of my 2 5's***

Thought I would share some shots of my M and my X, since everyone loves pix. Enjoy!

your M looks great especially in the non processed pic and those stock X wheels look perfect in black, aggressive

I prefer the non-processed, fancy lens setting pics as well. They look cartoonish.
The nornal lens settings pics look very nice. The M5 is a hot as it gets. Not too overdone but modded right.
The X5 looks cool but needs bigger wheels and I'm not a fan of blacked out wheels. A silver or red rim stripe would make them better. Still too small though.
Overall, both rides are hot. Good stuff.

Simply Amazing! The M looks stunning, wicked choice of color and very tastefully modded. As for the X5, well, the pics speak for itself, those powder coated stock wheels flow nicely with the setup you have.

Bigger than 20's? These are the OEM 214 20" wheels. Fronts are 275's -- Rears are 315's. They fill the wells perfectly. I think the look of the wheels is actually an illusion of the picture. I did consider the OEM 21" 215's, but couldn't find anyone selling them for a decent price and $8,000 retail was a joke. I'm not into the Time Attack look (stripes) on wheels. Too much for me.

Thanks! I'm actually not done with the X. I'm having the running boards painted black and then the truck will be done.

I also just ordered another Hartge Front Splitter for the M, as my last one cracked. That will be it for both cars...I think... Hahahaha!

I looked again and the 20's are big enough it's the all blacked out paint that makes them look smaller. Put a red or silver stripe on the edge of the lip and they will look better.

They look much better in person. The pix don't do them justice. I did lower the truck actually. I got the lowering springs for upfront and the rear links for the rear. The truck looked amazing and had such a mean stance -- not to mention, it made the wheels really pop. However, the ride quality was terrible and my wife hated it. Since I got this car for her, she ended up winning that battle. The car lasted 3 days with that stance.

As for pinstripes, I'll leave that for the A- Team. Just seems too ricey for me. Probably better on a Japanese car.
