**Mr.Wrong** · 08-29-2012 08:30 AM

Quite beefy! I like it

**TheKid23** · 08-29-2012 08:34 AM

Um, yes! Nicely done.

**AudiKerl** · 08-29-2012 08:39 AM

looks sick!

**audirings4** · 08-29-2012 08:46 AM

First time I looked at the pic I thought it was a 5 series.
I like them! Well done. Mind sharing what brand of wheels?

**Liquid Smoke** · 08-29-2012 08:52 AM

^^ says it in the title, BMW X5 wheels, that's why it looked like a 5-series to you :P

and looks nice, love the blacked out look on your car, always lookin nice and sleek. the wheels are cool though, i personally liked your previous wheels, the VB3s? these are still nice though, but feel very chunky and thick for a B8 though, but its a unique look still. might look better in a hyper silver or gunmetal finish.

**Hugh@EuropaParts** · 08-29-2012 09:04 AM

I dig it

I missed that.

I liked those better as well. But these look nice also, I would trade eityher set for mine

**TofuShop** · 08-29-2012 09:54 AM

wow et30! did you pull your fenders? also, are these redrilled, or lug adapters?

looks nice

**AWDLover** · 08-29-2012 10:04 AM

Looks good! Guy in the 4th picture kinda looks like he's vomiting into a bag....haha

**Blake P** · 08-29-2012 10:11 AM

Sorry, no like.

**Highlander1010** · 08-29-2012 10:12 AM

Pretty cool actually. I have always thought that BMW stock wheel choices were much better than Audi's. Audi is getting better year over year, but BMW still has them beat.

**Mops@Nemesis** · 08-29-2012 10:20 AM

Dont care for the wheel but LOVE the specs.

**CowtownSteve** · 08-29-2012 10:35 AM

I like. Nice drop, wheels are nice too.
Go for quad exhaust though, I'm not a fan of the single outlet dual tip but to each his own.

Nice work!

**dracolnyte** · 08-29-2012 10:38 AM

not bad, but why

**TCHUN003** · 08-29-2012 11:22 AM

I LOVE these wheels!! I've seen them on B6's/B7's and I was really wondering how they would look on the B8.

Post pics in the ftwltbdwictw thread, they'll appreciate the look

**phatAvant** · 08-29-2012 11:51 AM

Not my cup of tea, prefered the previous look Bari!

**JJPquattro** · 08-29-2012 01:09 PM

I'm iffy on this one; a part of me likes the style/look but they're almost too beefy... p.s. - change the center caps if you're keeping this setup!

I like the look, VMR's are old news IMO...except the B7RS4 reps....for some reason, those will always look great.

**hiwords1** · 08-29-2012 05:20 PM

wow nice redrill job. i woulda gone with adapters though. i like the look. kind of like what the fat fives does to a B5 A4

**Michaelmark5** · 08-29-2012 05:50 PM

Sick!

With you guys on this set up - too much rim (19x10) too little tire (235), Bimmer rims on Audi - the gene gods will not be pleased

Think this is his fourth set of rims since March, Imelda Marcos & her 3000 pairs of shoes is nervous

Agree his VB3 setup was better.

**Bari** · 08-31-2012 07:19 AM

thanks guys!

how do you keep that bad boy looking so clean and dark.

**TofuShop** · 08-31-2012 07:45 AM

the more i look at the pics, the more i like it

**xbimmer06** · 08-31-2012 08:13 AM

I used to go through wheels like you in the past man, guess I really couldn't stay with a certain look it seemed. Now I flip watches like you do wheels! Ha, anyways for what its worth, I liked the VB3 setup much more. Wheels seem mismatched on this car although very well executed. Damn these black cars and keepin em clean...full time job.

**OB1** · 08-31-2012 08:55 AM

Looks great!!

oh lolz I did the same thing, I read the title as 19x10.5 so I opened it up to see who went wider than me.
19x10 et33 on 245's here and we both have BMWwheels . what a coincidence

**inNout** · 08-31-2012 11:21 PM

Those wheels look amazing on the B8.
Any direct side profile pics?

**JulienB8** · 08-31-2012 11:42 PM

Nice sexy wide stance! I was planning on going 19x10 also I'm on vogtland coils dropped about 2"! Hey I have a question did you have to roll your fenders or do you experience any rubbing? This would help me a great deal! Thanks your car is perfect!

**pkancel** · 09-01-2012 10:41 AM

My personal opinion is that these wheels with this B8 bodystyle is one of the best looking combinations I have seen. The wheel is really beefy looking, very aggressive and reminds me a bit of that Rally Car look, but lowered or DTM look. I would seriously love to do the same thing but have them painted Anthracite. Just dont want to go to all of the trouble of redrilling, etc. Been down that path before its worth it when its something you want, but I am lazier now and just want to bolt on a go!

Nice job, thanks for posting!

**TheHeiko** · 09-01-2012 11:19 AM

As an ex-X5 guys, I do love those wheels. They're one of the best that BMW has spec'd as stock. Big, strong looking, simple, easy to clean - a huge bonus. They do look pretty good on the B8 albeit a little heavy/monolithic looking. I prefer the VB3s but both are good.

I would agree though, that the BMW roundel center caps must go.

I'm so jealous...both of my wheels are known to be the most difficult wheels to clean.
