It's like driving a photoshopped Ferrari with splits and 6" lips...

Camber is around -1.7 on all 4, but not a ton. I'm daily driving this car 40 miles per day.

With fatter tires, I think those wheels would look a lot better. It also seems like it has close to none, or even positive camber?

I like the deep, flat lip on this setup. A steplip would look ridiculous IMO on a lip that deep. I think it's perfect and fits so well with the layout of your car. The x5 wheels did look amazing on this though, haha but I still like the new wheels more! Your fake ferrari is cooler then any car i've owned. Plus the interior is so sick.

I did spend many hours photoshopping wheels in order to decide on the X5 wheels. To me they looked like some McLaren would use as an OEM wheel. As some of you know, I keep my old wheel selection for a while, so when I get bored I can move from cartoonish lips back to OEMish look.

As much as I like the new wheels, I am surprised to say that imho, it looked more "exotic" with the X5 wheels......

Saw it at stancewars, and I wasn't so sure.
With the paint, and the new wheels I really love it.
Then again I don't understand the step lip obsession, so I'm def in the minority.

I feel like the wheels fit the style of the car very well. Although, I can agree that step lips are awesome. Regardless, it looks rad.

I actually originally wanted Work Gnosis GS2 split five spokes and they were cheaper with a similar 10-week lead time from Japan. Since these have thinner and more taper to the spokes, I prefer them to the Works. Both would have been native ET-50 fitments. Neither have step lips though, but I'd guess the Work brand alone would lead to broader acceptance here. Still prefer what I have.
Now that I passed vehicle inspection and finally have plates and a registration, I'll space the rears out 25mm. Maybe that'll help, but fronts can't come out anymore, they're hitting door jambs at 2/3 crank. The way you can think about clearance is when you do snow angels on the ground, factory tolerances are like the swing around your elbows, but these are like the swing where the tips of your fingers are. The entire outer face is articulating about 4-5" forward or rearward at full crank. The stretched 215s on 9s let me space these out 20mm more than the X5 wheels,but it's all I've got.

Tough crowd. I got so much **** for not having three-piece wheels over the years and now I plunk down 3x what I paid for the X5 wheels/tires and opinions are mixed.
As I prefer to polarize people, I'm digging it and I like the wheels.
