bforbrian · 05-12-2023, 09:04 AM

Update on my current G05 X5 build!

Notable modifications include:

- 2-piece custom 22x10.5 / 22x11.5 West Forged wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Premium Touch
- Brembo GT BM8 with 2-piece drilled rotors
- Hamann fender flares

Big thanks to dubsesd in helping me with wheel sizing relative to the fender flares.

Car looks absolutely gorgeous. Hats off to you.

Surprised you also have the brembos $$$$.

Can you comment on ride quality? I always curious how the lowered cars with low pros ride.

Thanks man. The ride quality is still pretty soft since I have OEM air suspension, but it's still far from the maximum level of softness which can be attained without the lowering links and with a 20" wheel, which would probably run a 45 aspect ratio tire.

Looks great. I like the polished lip contrast against the brushed centers. sizing on tires? 275 front and 315 rear? Brakes look

This looks amazing! Love the wheels - the polished lip is gorgeous! Looks very nice with the Brembo's and cross drilled rotors!

Do you have lowering links?

Your car looks great! Where did you find those wide arch fenders? I may be wrong but it looks like you have wider than stock wheel arches.

SeattleLSB · 12-11-2023, 02:48 PM

Are these Hamann flares? What material are they?
