Guys I can't say enough about Omar and his team at Velos. They are the epitome of professionalism. The results of this build is truly mind blowing. Omar was able to make miracles happen in hours (and put up with my texts, calls and emails!) They are 1st class all the way and I would highly recommend them for anything you are looking to do.

If everything stays dry here I will have a 1/4 mile time tomorrow!

Hey,

Unfortunately did not have time to dyno this one. Worked all day and night to get this done so we couldn't squeeze that in. We have dynoed X5M's with identical setup though...

Car looks great. Strange to have it so low though. Kind of defeats the purpose of having an X model.

I think we are all enthusiasts here and with that said the client got a really good deal on a set of wheels and had them shipped to us in Miami. Unfortunately one of the chrome lips were curbed and we had one day to figure something out. I had the wheels powder coated in a matte black/gloss black finish. All other items were purchased through us directly for this build.

We did not want the client to drive back home without everything done. I have been on that end of the spectrum and can only imagine how disappointed he would have been.

With that said these are indeed a temporary set of wheels and will be swapped out in the future.

Best Regards and thanks for your concern.
