Just curious how long you've had them installed as I'm just trying to get an idea on longevity.

Car looks great BTW!!!

Thanks! I really need to update my sig though. I pulled everything off the 550 about a year ago (including the Hoens)and traded it in for the M6. I do miss the 550 at times. I used the Hoens for probably a solid year before I pulled them out and sold them to a board member. I never had any issues with them. Looked great too.

I'm not doubting you, but are you sure VMR's won't fit? Two vendors list M5/M6 in the application chart for VMR 18's.

I emailed both vendors for confirmation, so we'll see what they say.

Alan from Mod Bargains said the 18" M6 reps do fit.....but are on back order with no dates forecasted

Yes I had VMR CSL and clang...maybe E39 M not the big monsters of the E60..pm'd ya
