man those look great... been thinking about switching out the OEM 19 staggered that came with mine for something like what you got.
Where are you all getting those wheels? what offset and wheel spec did you get? price?

I like the height the way it is, especially for snowy weather (if we have a real winter next year).

2-Blue tooth integration
3-Fix the rust that I discovered on the right rear door, minor work
4-Fix the mirrors
5-Some more coding
And that's it

Already got the black kidney grills
And RPI scoops? Sorry my lack of experience, but what exactly are RPI scoops and what do they do?
Thanks again.

miro 111's
m5 front bumper and mtech rear
Titanium Silver / Black Dakota
sport package, cold package, Sirius, Nav, Logic 7, Rear Shade, Ipod Integration
I finally got the Miro's installed, here are some before and after shots...
I like the Continentals as well, I think however they are too proud of themselves, too much writing on the tires LOL!
Who was it that recommended the Miro's to me again? I wish to thank them for the awesome choice. Also no spacers required, i think they look nice. There is some vibration, the car was shifting to the right, but after I drove it for a while, the tires settled in and all was ok, I will bring it back to the tire shop if the vibration continues.
Does the car need to be lowered? or is it ok this way? Under load the car sits nicely

Call Joe at Trinity Autosport - excellent service and great prices
got mine from him, had them in a few days, he has the correct offsets - the rims do need the hub centric rings though for our cars (he wil send them with the wheels)

looks great! - mine are going on this week once the car is back from getting the new bumpers put on. You mention there is some vibration, you need to use the hub rings as these wheels are not hub centric for our cars (at least the 19"s are not) - they came with my wheels when I ordered them from Trinity, with these on you sould have no vibration at all
Thanks
