What better way to spend a day off than getting the girl detailed, going for a nice drive, and then taking a few snaps of the beast!!

First time showing off the new wheels! I also got a new shift knob and custom painted the steering wheel trims to match the idrive knob, shifter, and door handles

Hope you all enjoy

Really nice, consider a 10mm spacer on all wheels to make it pop!

Thank you sir!
Yup - already on it! Gonna be taking the girl to Eurorev on Friday to see what spacers would work best! I really liked how the 285 rears filled most of the gap though

Thanks very much! We actually ended up using a mercedes silver on the steering wheel trims to get the matching just right - go figure!

Thanks C! I agree - really liked how the wheels turned out!
Great match with my black/carbon fiber theme.

I do have to say though - even thought the V12's are a great tire - they don't compare to the grip I had on my Mich Super Sports...

What a tire - and the 19 inch staggered set is for sale to boot.

All- check my post in the classified section - my loss you gain!

Looks good, but you should do darker tint

Nice car for sure. Is that one of those eBay LCI type shifters? How is the fit? I wonder how close the shape is to the real thing. Would be awesome to use the back of the replica controller and the front of the real one to have both the safety of the shift lock and the info of the lit front gear indicator. Then you could throw in an LCI shifter plate and have a pretty convincing set-up.
