22" 3 piece rims

Post by westside » Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:58 am

So with the rims sitting in the garage begging me to stick them on I decided to do it on Saturday.  (Mostly becuase I need to set my coilovers around this wheel setup)

Anyway smoother then the runflats and the wheels suit the car better then the 20" as they show of the BBK better lol.

I also had the rear BMW performance spolier fitted with the window spoliers and my new reshapped steering wheel should be here this week.  Recently I have lost interest with the x6 but now i'm back on it.  TBH i'm more excited about getting and modding a VW caddy!

Looking good Westside, although I'm sticking with the twenties as I live deep in the countryside.  I fear the X6's days are numbered as you obsession with modifications must mean there's not much more you can do to the X6.  ::)

What do you suggest?  Pink fluffy dice, eye brows or maybe something more subtle?  :))
