I have my friend who's a tech do it for me, but it's such a bitch it takes both of us, and sometimes a 3rd person. You'd be doing higher profile tires so it'll probably be a bit easier, but still, you've been warned.
BTW this is an X3 with 18" CSLs
They look super out of place to me, personally I'd just find another set of stock X3 wheels, or maybe some X5 takeoffs if they'll fit.
Unfortunately, VMR is no longer making the VB3 in hyper black in the size I want.
These eBay knockoffs essentially look the same but I'm sure they're straight off the boat from China. And I'd be putting a 235/50/18 tire on them so the sidewall shouldn't give the tire guys any problems.And I don't think those CSLs look out of place on that X3. I think they would look better if they were a little darker, hence the hyper black.
