My wheels are at customs now, I should have them tomorrow! Can't wait to install them along with my Euro Stickers and ACS Trunk and Roof spoiler.

Got the wheels installed today, no problems or rubbing with the 19x10 ET38 in the rear on stock XI suspension. The wheels are flush with the fender so I think I would need coils to make sure I don't rub if I lower it.

The 19's feel alot better to drive on then the stock 17's, less vibration throught the wheel and drives very straight. Lots of extra grip from the Kumho's over the old goodyar all seasons, the cars much more fun to drive. The rear wheels look sick when rolling with the extra concavity! I actually liked the VMR center caps and decided to leave them on rather then putting the BMW roundels on.

The rims look pretty good for the price, the finish could certainly be better and they do mark up really easy. I'm pretty happy with the transformation though and figure in a couple years I can get them refinished or polished, they should be able to stand up for that long.

Pics tomorrow along with flamage about wheel well gap

Nice...can't wait for pics. I told you the finish wasn't the best.

How did you see the rims when rolling? And put the BMW caps in...much better. Remember, you have to fool the non-BMW folks into believing they are OEM.

Flame on tomorrow!

The finish isn't horible or anything like that. From a normal viewing distance they look perfect but when you put your nose right up to them you can tell that it isn't the greatest paint job. For the money though I'm still happy, the car was turning lots of heads today

I saw the rims rolling when driving past mirrored windows and i woke up at 7am just to watch wifey roll of in the car to work

Got some pics on the Iphone tonight, will maybe post before bed
