I did Dinan Stage 2 and Eibach. Although, I am very seriously considering KW's now. Hahahaha!
Yeah now that I have the 20's on I am considering a drop. Probably an Eibach set up.

back on topic

wheels are mint

I have problems. I'm just one of those types that needs everything done ASAP.

I would have too. Maybe you could buy them for me? I couldn't justify spending $7K on a set wheels and tires right now. I want HRE P40's...maybe next year. This was a good alternative for now.

Thanks for the complements everyone!

Now my next thoughts...

Should I change the bolts to BLACK? I'm kind of not felling the shiny silver bolts.

Should I change the Breyton center caps with the CF BMW Roundels?

Any opinions welcome!
