My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
The wheels look great, congrats!! I would just change the flaps to body matched ones. I agree that they do a great job keeping shtuff off the side of your car - especially since you live in the rainy UK.

The wheels look great! But I hope you don't have BMW factory brake pads - with narrow openings on the spokes you'll be cussing because you can't get your fingers in between the spokes with a cleaning cloth or rag to get rid of that brake dust.
If you've already put different pads on, good for you!

cheers guys
LED reg bulbs are from here: http://www.xenonwhite.de/eng/6f0124972e104...972e1046204.php Choose 38mm check as it has the resistors built in.
I'm just leaving the mudflaps sadly.
wheels have been coated with Nanolex rim sealant www.nanolex.co.uk so are fairly easy to clean but i know what you mean with the tight spokes (Standard pads at the moment)
Side repeaters are from Racing Dash but i got them through SSDD Motorsport
