Got my new wheels from Eric at PYSpeed. good folks to deal with. They are staggered 19s with +20 offsets. I'm not a mod-aholic like some other folks . I just have my hamman splitter to get painted and installed then I'm done.

Also included a pic of my wife's new (to her) X5 4.8is this truck is a MONSTER!

Very nice! So more and more people are getting these. How do they run?

Vibrations?

smooth, they have the correct hub sizing so no need for hubcentric rings. only vibrations notice are due to road imperfections.

I can't imagine cleaning those twice a day like I have to do to my 166's. I'd seriously just wrist.

My friends joke around, too. "Cleaning your rims again? wtf?" Yea well YOU own a BMW and see how much crap those brake pads spew out every time you push the pedal and then come to me and laugh. You'll be crying along with me pal! =)

yeah i thought my car had bad brake dust. the X5 is INSANE. The brakes on the 4.8is are massive and the truck weighs 5100 lbs. the wheels are almost completely black after 3-4 days driving. Crazy.

Invest in some low dust brake pads...I believe member myfootsmells has GB going on for some Hawk pads
