i have thought, blue, powder blue, black, maybe gun medal...what do you all think would look good on white golf?


any thoughts are welcome.

baby blue. gunmetal. if you arent sure, just plastidip them, and spray over the plastidip so you can peel it off.

thats a really good idea.

I tried to find a pic that I saw once but what if you just paint the inner parts of the wheel and leave the face polished?

EDIT: Something like this.



Had to throw this up since we're talking about blades

Local seller has these X5 wheels for sale $200


5x120 - 17x7.5 - ET40

Factory Part Number 36111096159


Thought I would share

[Miller7204]

Those are X5 wheels? I've never seen them before.

[Pssst...passed you]

Yeah, they are "Style 57" and they should fit all E53 X5's 2000-2006 with the 3.0l and the 4.6. WILL NOT FIT 4.8l X5

i assume that is due to M14x1.5 lugs instead of the M12x1.5 lugs most others have perhaps.

Too skinny.

love this set up... what adapters are you running size wise?

im running 33 front and 30 rear.
and im also on ultimos.

[_FUBAR_]

33mm all around. I really want to find oem bbs vette wheels. I like the 20 bolt ones but are extremely rare. They are 17's. Would look cool refinished.

[Miller7204]

Those would be a perfect size as well. Time to hunt down a set

[Pssst...passed you]

Fubar, just pick up a set of the BBS road race wheels, unfourtunate thing is onebad bump and it will crease and are prob about 2k a piece.

BBS Modular Road Race Wheels

When it says "call for price" ...yeah I cant afford it.
