...so while we were out running around, we got to compare the difference between my AA tuned X5m and Rodney's (not tuned) for side by side comparisons. Mine was noticeably quicker at every pull... Sometimes he would stomp the gas sooner, but it never mattered; Mine would always get in front of his and begin to pull away in a very short order

(now Rodney wants a tune!)

Gixxer - next time, we get videos.

He bought them from a seller on ebay...

Let me be the first to say that Rodney is about as particular about his vehicles as anyone can get... Needless to say that I was very surprised when he began to consider replica wheels. Of course, he was extremely skeptical about them as well, however the seller offered an unconditional money back return, so he decided "what the heck, I'll give them a try!". They looked great, balanced perfectly, so he decided to keep them.

I was also unsure about replica wheels at first, but the more I look at them, the better I like them. If I hadn't gotten such a good deal on my BBS SVs, I would have considered them as well.

Do you know which buyer he bought them from?

Excellent choice! The 2 inch drop is just too much and looks ricey. Your X5 looks great man.

Space Gray is so much classier than Alpine White. I'm ready to get rid of my Alpine White cars.

It's not bad, but I'm a bit tired of it. Time for a nice darker metallic colour.

My wife really liked the white one, but I already have a white GMC Denali and recently sold my Alpineweiss III 540i/6 Msport, so I was ready for a change to something different. Too many black cars in my past, so it was going to be either MC blue or Space Gray.

Been very happy with my choice so far.

NEVAR! AW > *

(have 3 in the household)

^ the X5M looks great. and agreed with other posts above, those BBS SVs are a much, much better choice than the replica OEM wheels.
