They said it takes 4-6 weeks to build.
Can't wait!!!

How will they fit a 10" lip on that wheel?? That is crazy. Does the center of the wheel bow out to allow a lip that big? The one thing I have seen with wheels like that, when there is such a huge lip, it makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is. I definately want to see them. It is a long painful wait for the rims, but well worth it.

It is crazy how much more attention the car/truck is getting with everything done. The look on people's faces is great, you can tell they have no idea what they are looking at.

Very nice .... not overdone.

[JadeVetti]

Nicely done. It looks just as good without the chrome window trim, which would have matched your ride even more because of the mods.

Thanks for the website.

Hi ,
Did you paint them by your self ?
or you can choose the color you've wanted in the web site?

[JIMX681]

You need to paint them yourself. They come primed ready to paint.

The roof spoiler is Hamaan and the eyelids are Lumma. The rear spoiler I actually had somebody make for me.

The wheels are made by Asanti, but the company is called Modular Society. It is a Malice 5 wheel with Pirelli tires. They are 22x10.5 with 295/30/22 and 22x12 with 335/25/22 Pirelli tires. The paint on the spokes are perfectly colored matched. The lowering kit is H+R 2" drop for self leveling suspension. The wheels have clear coat on them which makes them easy to clean. Not sure what the offset is, but these rims will only fit this car.

I will say that the brake upgrade has crossed my mind, but the rotors don't look that small to where it bothers me. I had an Escalade with 26's and the rotors looked like they were from a smart car.

The halo's are Weisslicht white bulbs, and the fog lights are PIAA silver star 5100K.

Thanks for the comments...

where did you get the PIAA silver star 5100k from ? I'm searching the net but haven't found them yet.

[JIMX681]

I got them on ebay. The color from those bulbs is a little on the blue side. The angel eyes I have are really close to the same color as the piaa bulbs so they look good. If you just change the fogs they will probably be too blue.

Beautiful ride, congrats!

That deep dish on the rears is very nice.

[JIMX681]

I changed the fog bulbs from PIAA 5100K to PIAA 4400K Northern Star. Much better color match. The 5100 was just to blue, and it cheapened the look a little bit. Now everything matches perfectly. I will get some more pictures of the new lights.

[JSCO]

looks good..love the white

[Israeli_Flava]

That's hawt! W-O-W!

Painted your mirror assemblies? No one in this area will paint anything plastic in Florida. Say it wont last, etc. I had mine done in Germany. They do the same process that BMW does on plastic - coat with something, and then do whatever else after that. Did my window trim also. I tried to scratch it off with my finger nails, but it will not come off, so it's definately better than paint.

I think your eyelids are spaced out too far forward.

Still, very beautiful X6.

[Gurman_x6m]

liked lumma eyleads, angel eyes and lip spoiler!

[JIMX681]

It was an expensive process to paint all of the black trim white. It was smoothed before it was painted which doubled the cost of the job. The eyelids only fit in one place, how can they be too far forward? Any further back and the hood won't close.

[Olagüe]

nice whitee

[x6 boss]

A few quick questions...

- Do you have any problems with the new angel eyes?
- Have you had to replace the bulbs yet?
- Does BMW say anything to you when you bring it in for service?

Thanks

Beautifully done...not overstated!
