        Tim,

        Looks rather good to me!, First X5 I've seen in green too

        Are they the 21" versions or the 20"?

        me too...look at it from behind maybe on your knees and look on the overall look, not just the wheels and you can see how wide and meaty the X5 then appears with the 4.6is rims on....

        It was $4300 shipped. Call Edward at Pacific BMW 1-800-909-PART. That was for the Wheels and the Running boards.

        Tell him you know me

        Thanks Tim....I think some springs or a coilover kit might be in order too......

        Am I crazy to do it to a leased vehicle???

        Understand, with respect to the wheels and tire package that I'm going to need to buy new tires for the 19's anyway so that's about 900.....

        Mike:

        I thought the same thing. Maybe a set of H&R springs up front to drop it a bit.

        Yes you are crazy. Just keep the original parts and you can put the car back to stock and sell the parts

        Remeber to call Edward. He is a great guy.
