Powder coated my 20" M sport wheels...
Just some pics of my new 750.. Had the wheels powder coated silver and also did some other mods.. Chrome exhaust tips...Window tint...Gloss black roof. I left the shark fin white. I liked the contrast.. and did some other things as well..
Just a few pics. What do you guys think about the wheels? And the mods so far.. |

Did you add the L to the name badge? The 2016s don't have the L, at least the 740, because they only sell one wheelbase here.
I don't care for the mods, personally. I think the silver took the depth out of the wheels.

Looks good overall.
How's the workmanship on the wheels? Any spots / blotchiness / runs? Paint even? Does it look like OEM BMW paint? Looks a little brown / gray. Who'd you use for the wheels and how much? Looking forward to crossing paths! |

Wheels look good. I think you should add spacers to get flush fitment and I would also wrap the chrome trim on the rear to be black as well. I think the chrome exhaust finishers were a good move though. Great mods so far.

It's your car. As long as you're happy! I think pure silver makes them look like the stock 19" wheels on an X5 M Sport

The X5 is on the same chassis it's always been on. This was a good effort to tell us you got an Escalade, too, though. I didn't know people still bought those. |

Hey man, don't be mad that I called out your humblebrag. It was a classic move, like the guy who drops "Porsche" into a conversation. I'll take my "tiny" X5 over a dressed up Chevy SUV any day. To each his own. It's just the internet.
