i posted my take on the MSS springs (+ photos) here:

... after having given my 808s an "OCD"-level clean, and replaced the stock center caps with IND carbon versions, i'm feeling like my wheel fetish (as Mrs 155ND calls it!) is under control for now:

... but i would love to see some "minimalist" wheels on an X5MC, to show off the beautiful drilled discs & painted calipers - hopefully someone on here is braver and richer than me and will go for some uber-cool Vossen deep-dish wheels (or something similarly nice)!
Even though I have the 818 wheels, I knew from before I placed an order for the car that either wheel that was available on the X5MC would be a PITA to keep clean. I know its an old style M wheel, but I wish BMW still offered the M wheels in 21"/22" size like the standard non competition wheels. Those aren't to bad to keep clean.
Oh well.
