Drag them to your desk top, rotate them...then resave them. Then re-upload them to the forum.

I believe I have fixed the pictures.

Went with Carbon Black/Extended Shadow Line exterior and 21" M Y-spoke bi-color wheels that I had powder coated gloss black. Inside I chose Coffee Full Merino Leather/Aluminum Dark Mesh. Coffee color leather is nice, but I wouldn’t have minded if it was a bit darker (like BMW Mocha). Really like the Aluminum Mesh trim.

Just got paint correction, paint protection film, ceramic coating, and window tint. Went with XPEL Ultimate Plus protection film, Level 3 (hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights, side mirrors, door cups). Also had my guy cover the gloss black pillars, rocker panels and behind the rear wheels. Ceramic coating is XPEL Fusion Plus over everything, but the windows. Went with Prime XR Plus window tint, 70% windshield, 20% front rollups. Wheels and brake calipers have a couple coats of FEYNLAB ceramic coating.

Mods thus far:
- IND gloss black hood and trunk roundels, floating wheels center caps, rear badges
- IND color matched front reflectors
- Gloss black M style side mirror caps sourced from Amazon (Decent quality, great looks, really good fitment. If interested, search ‘SNA Side Mirror Caps for BMW X3 G01 X4 G02 X5 G05 X7 G07’)
- Wheel spacers, 12mm front, 15mm rear

Next up:
- Maxton gloss black front splitter
- Replace factory Continental run-flat tires as soon as Michelin starts producing their Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires to fit my wheels

Really nice.

My X5 is Black Sapphire and I also have the 21s as a 2nd set for winter here in new england.
Your pictures show me what the 21s look like powder coated which is something I have thought strongly about ad I like my wheels all black.

Would you say this is DIY worthy or do you recommend getting them installed at a shop?

Good parking job to avoid dings!!

Took less than an hour. Depends how comfortable you are working on your car. Was pretty easy for me.
