I must say, I prefer the after.

[vengie]

I much prefer the "before" look!

However the "after" is definatley classier.

[Accord_tunerx]

both looks nice

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I like the after.

[shakalaka]

I like the before, but I have a thing for black rims.

If it was me, I would have much rather had the chrome trim around the windows in black.

[bubbley]

BEFORE 100%

[torob]

Before makes look speedy / agressive

After - classy

[BokCh0y]

After is better imo.

[beyond_ban]

Both have their positives, but i prefer the before. Looks mean.

[J.M.]

Before looks boss.

[MaxxLee]

I agree.. black car, black wheels are :drool:

[nightfx]

After, not a fan of black rims unless everything is black (grills, trim)

[ryansteg]

Before was better.

[a social dsease]

i prefer the before, but they both look nice :thumbsup:

[inline6turbo]

Black wheels are :drool: and hide all the brake dust.

Love the new x5 though. Very nice

[JordanLotoski]

I also liked before, but that lasted about a week. I got very tired of the black on black seeing it day in and day out. I personally love the classier look. and now its the only 2011 blank m sport with wheels like that in that colour

thanks for the comments guys:thumbsup:

[TYMSMNY]

nvm, got it.

the after matches your window trim. If you got the anthracite trim then I would've said the black looked much better.


Alloy does a great job!

Inrich, not an X5M.

[InRich]

thats an x5 m?
btw love the after, definatly classy.

[CSMRX7]

I like the before personally.

[Speed_69]

After looks nice but definitely prefer the before look.

Nope 50i with M sport pack

[TYMSMNY]

^ thought you had a 4.8? (your sig) and I believe the 5.0i for the X5 is only for 2010 whereas the X6 was 2009.

I like those black wheels though.

Someone on beyond posted some pics of a X5M. :drool:

[Jlude]

After for sure. Black rims are so common, I'm not a fan of them at all.

Correct..I had a 2009 x5 48i. I traded i in 2 weeks ago for a 2011 x5 50i

[TYMSMNY]

^ ah nice! Heard great things about the 5.0 engine. Must be more of a U-boat now... 400hp/450tq. significant difference? :D

[Redlyne_mr2]

One of the first 2011 5.0s in town, nice truck man. Have to say I loved the before though.

[cocoabrova]
