but why?
1. Both finishes are just so gorgeous.
2. Hard to choose just one.
3. Getting some electrically transparent colored rims is already pretty far out on a limb so why not?
4. Couldn't afford an M5 so I want to do something wild with this car.
5. I'm just a kid at heart and my daughter approved.

Yes sir! Should have Car wrapped, wheeled, and stealth hitched by sometime in August. Big COVID delay on shipping the hitch.

Be safe out there in Florida man.

What color is your X3M? Lots of cool transparent color options on these wheels... which are your finalists?

Finalists: Vossen red and Deco teal. I've got alpine white on the X3 MC and also debating stealth or regular wrap.

I'm sure you also think:

When do you ever see both sides of the car at once?

I honesty don't think it's a bad idea at all. Most people just can't handle the inconsistency, but that's why we have Mavericks.

Respect if you follow through with it!

AC Shnitzer I've seen do different color wheels on either side of the vehicles and it definitely will make for a lot of discussions.

If you ever get pulled over for speeding, do a quick 180 and claim it was another X3M with different color wheels

I bet if you put four Vossen red wheels on a stealth white car it would really look awesome.

LOL You read my mind!

The other benefit is I can alternate how I put it in the garage so I' greeted with a different view every time I go out to see it

That's what I'm talking about. Nice find The shop helping me out said a wheel company rep they know did it on several cars.

Was thinking to debadge the car out of modesty, but that might be pointless now with loud rims. 😜

This article about the M40i sold me on getting forged wheels https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/10/18/h...a-bmw-x3-m40i/

That's the car I used to have; best pops and bangs ever (for me).
