Vegas55.. Yeah clean was the look I wanted. But yeah I've seen five spokes on the x5 and it looks horrible. So I went with a mesh look on the bummer since they seem to pull off the look a bit better.

boostiality - yeah its a lot of work with that black paint, clay, buff, wax, clean, all the time and I get it professionally detailed at this Elite detail shop here. The guy is insane!
Pjnash - haha Thanks for the offer! This is another reason why I love this forum. So many respectable people here. I would totally let you do it with my help, I'd feel bad if I didnt
3VILAMG - www.intercellgroup.com ... basically Technology consulting. but as far as Life been good to me.. as far as the business .. so far so good (still scares me everyday, could flop any min.. thanks Obama bin laden) non business .... yeah, could be worse and I am just thankful. My Hobbies keep me sane! So I have to make time for them!!
HeissRod - Thanks! yeah I love the 5 spoke too Glad it turned out how I wanted them. but yeah I got sick of jacking up my back and busting my neck on the ground lol. The Lift is a Bendpak HD-9SWX that can lift 9k pounds. Its got adjustable tracks for width and a bridge jack option that I got so that I can lift the car off the tracks while lifted up so I can work on brakes, change wheels etc. After having it, I realized that this thing has served multi-purpose uses. It has been my adjustable work bench, welding table, Storage lift (non car crap) gives a lot of real estate back on the garage floor when the car isn't up on it when I am working on the garage floor or whatever. Definitely a good investment for any garage.

Car looks amazing man, excellent choice on the rims. I'm not sure if they are the "exact" same or not, but I saw another car with rims very similar that seemed to have the spokes come out/away from the rim a lot more, made it an entirely different look. With the ride height and against the black, those look fantastic!
Also amazing is how you can stand to have all those goodies sitting not installed! I'd have a facial tick after a few weeks until I did.... lol!

Wow your E55 is perfect great choice on the wheels they look amazing. I'm also digging the X5 M very clean. Where in the Chicago land area are you? Would love to check out your ride sometime.

Just looked over these pics again and I have to say your E Class is so "gentlemen-like" ... has an aggressive look but still keeps its classiness.
Again, great choice of wheels and not going over the top with the mods. Even the stand up hood star looks at home on your car. Everything on the W211 ties in very well ....

A tall garage is a requirement for my next house. Even though I love my current house that alone might push me out of it.
The 55 looks ****. Love the wheel choice. Save for the wheels we have matching cars so of course I love it.
Is the X5M modded? You don't seem like the type of guy who would keep it stock.
