Thanks for the kind words. I'm new to the BMW world. Ahhhhh I feel a lot better... I gotta give some props to Michael from Acute Performance. He really took care of me and has outstanding customer service skillz. We had a small snafoo with FedEx and he was all over them and made it 100% right. He'll def get my future business. I'll post some full shots when I get the suspension done. Thanks again fellas.

its because they look like they are 19" and look like stock wheels. Lower it and see the difference then.

car looks nice,you dont have to drop it.it looks good the way it is.i am assuming you bought the xi for a reason so why would you drop it? to me it kind of makes no sense.but it would look good either way,dont let guys pressure you on dropping your car like its a sooped up honda civic,its a bmw!keep it classy!

I can't agree with this enough.

me personally, i think that if you change out your wheels...its should be a joyous occassion with an immediate and very positive reaction...so perhaps you may want to rethink your purchase. but with that said, maybe things will be a bit more promising when you adjust your suspension and get that wheel gap closed up some. good luck....at a minimum it looks very clean imo...

The pics you posted look good, however, i'll reserve final judgement until more pics are posted.
