Long story short, I have a camera w/ audio that watches over my car in front of my townhouse. I'm not really in a bad area at all, but since my bedroom is in the back of the house, I like to watch out front sometimes while expecting company, etc. Well, I just turned on the feed to the camera and had to smile. The sunlight was hitting her at the perfect angle. I must say I wasn't a fan of the E60 bodystyle at first, but it sure has grown on me. Silver-Grey sport - loving it. Since everything is black trimmed I'm going to go with these wheels Breyton Race GTS - All Black. What do you think?

Yeah, they're good looking wheels - great looking in black!!! They make them in silver and Matte Grey too. I'm not a fan of chrome wheels. I guess I'll have to get the wheel caps afterwards. Once I do (hopefully soon) I'll post pics. In anticipation I've already started playing with turning off my traction control. I've only done it in limited and WOW!!!! May need a helmet with full DTS off - lol.

Oh Rudy, fellow Pittsburgh guy. I was born and raised in Stanton Heights. Let me try to post current pics and then try to photoshop the Black GTS wheel in. Note: I have NO clue how to use photoshop - lol.
