My new look XI dd

[johnnyrad]

Alright my daily driver is finally almost complete. The last two week's I have installed new Bilstein sport shocks/struts and H&R sport springs, and of course new mounts. Also slapped on brand new 17" Style 71's with Falcon FK-452 235/40ZR17. She rides so nice now and the I love the rims on the AWD.

How does she look?

I'm not one for the slammed look, so I think the ride height is tasteful and perfect for my needs.

Your at perfect height for a Xi IMO.

Any lower and you'll be worrying about the CV joints. Looks good, I approve.

Awesome! Looks perfect!

Nice! So those 71's are 17-inch wheels? Don't see too many of those floating around. The rears look like they have a nice lip

Yes 17", the XI stock rims are 17" so easy fit, wanted 18's but oh well. The rears are et20 and the fronts are et47. I got both rears brand new with brand new tires on them from ECS for $150 a piece! The had two left and had used them as demo's for a photoshoot. The tires alone are close to $150, so the rims are free...super win there. Then TMS had one et47 brand new rim for sale and I was able to haggle with the sales guy to part with it for under $400, then I had to buy one brand new one from Bavarian for full price then buy two front tires full price also. So all in all I think I got a pretty good deal.. Wasn't sure if I would like the split offsets front and back but I actually do.
