Is it just me or did it look lower on the X5 wheels?
I think it looks great, love the license plate too, didn't notice it in the last thread. I think if you go a little more aggressive with the fitment it'll look better, but I understand it's a daily.

With an attempt at some constructive criticism - of course, this is all my $0.02, so take it for what you will.
I still think this car is rad. I'm excited to see an update to it. I know you just bought brand new expensive wheels, so it's no fun to hear people saying "I don't like them" or "they were better before," but I've got to take that side of things. They're your wheels and if you're happy with them, power to you!
But I think they just look dated. They don't fit too well either. The X5 setup looked phenomenal and really complimented the car - now I feel like I'm looking at something from 6Speed Online.
The necessity for very low offsets is understood, but I think that could present a chance to do some interesting things - the gigantic, flat-lipped style faded out a number of years ago, with stepped lips being the current "fashionable" thing. I think steps would help immensely - but there's also concaved faces and such.
I don't think the tires fit. I like stretch, but something is off here. It looks stretched for no reason.
I think the front wheels need to be pushed out significantly too. I'm sure there's fear of damaging fresh body work - so lift up to drive, but as a car that's on air, I don't see a reason for the front wheels to be so inboard.
Nevertheless, good work on the car. Keep doing your thing!

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.My first JDM project after decades of European cars!
