Stunning, amazing what a change in sidewall does for a set of wheels.

Sorry to say it as i love big BM's. The actual car looks realy mediocre like that.
Its on situation where lowering isnt the only thing that needs doing.
If it had some wheels with a little thinner spoke design. Or possibly thicker but not somthing of another model..
And the whole thing sat level in the arches id like it alot...
But its a big car thats just been dumped in the weeds for the sake of it, And it isnt asthetically pleasing... Just getting the arch gaps the same back and front would have done wonders..

I love the lowering, I'm not feeling the wheels as much (I'd go for a subtle design to go with the subtle lines of the car, but that's just me and it's easy to change).
Well as a whole I still love it ;D

Unless you want mega rake, you cannot get BMW arch gaps to match. The rear arch line is far lower than the front arch on most BMWs, E38 7's included. IMO the angle of the sill against the floor is perfect and I wouldn't change the proportion of arch gap. I've had this problem with every single one of my slammed BMWs! Back to the car... Love it. The wheels are great on the car and it really suits looking beached  . I did wonder if it was on air being so low. |

Very nice! Love the nod to japanese vip cars with the fusa in the rear view mirror. Unless you want mega rake, you cannot get BMW arch gaps to match. The rear arch line is far lower than the front arch on most BMWs, E38 7's included. IMO the angle of the sill against the floor is perfect and I wouldn't change the proportion of arch gap. I've had this problem with every single one of my slammed BMWs!. This is something i've never understood why bmw did. They ruined the facelift e30 by lowering the rear arches, and have stuck to that design idea since. It ruins a lot of nice stance bmw's. And for all e38 fans there just might turn up one in readers rides any day now  |

Well i think the tuck on the back is fine. Rear arches can't cover up too much wheel in my opinion.
And I've been looking at different X5 wheels all day, plotting things which will probably never never come to fruition.
