Looking for pictures of a white F15 with unpainted 20" fender flares

[Zamorskii]

I am considering upgrading to a larger wheel size after this winter and keeping my dedicated winter tires on the factory 450's. I'd want a staggered setup and extended fender flares, but wonder if I can go by with an unpainted version.

My X5 is Mineral White with painted flairs now, but there are some black parts on the bumpers/skirts that I think I can go by with just black flares. Any thoughts on the setup or pictures of someone who done that?

IMHO I think it's a bad idea. White car + dark flares will make wheel wells appear larger than they are... Are you sure you want it?

[Zamorskii]

I hear what you saying. I was thinking the same thing, so wanted to see it first.

I don't think that would be a good idea IMO.

But it is your car and you should do with it what you like...good luck and make sure to post pics (so that no one makes the same mistake, haha just kidding).

In all seriousness, Good luck with it if you end up doing it!

That doesn't look so bad because it's the stock black plastic flares. OP wants to use the extended/MSport flares, which would look bad IMO (and as others have stated). Plus, I don't believe they are textured black plastic and would probably come primered, forcing a paint job.

Lots of E70's rolling around with this look. But the tie into the bumper trims in textured black plastic completed the look.

What trim is your vehicle? I am guessing Luxury Line?
