My Ride: 2004 530i Orient Blue, Beige int., Sport Pkg, PDC Mods: Miro 111's on Falken 452's 245/30/20, 275/30/20, Rdash lic plate lights, red rear reflectors
Default

I finally got decent pics of my Miro 111's. Thanks to Gerry at Bavarian Exclusive for the hook-up. Appreciate the input from Nerweezy and Charles as well. I went with Falken 452's, 245/30/20 front and 275/30/20 rear (props to Persian535, Howz550 and Mdot).

I have been a member for a while and have gotten a lot of help from the board - but I haven't done a lot of mods, so I guess as with the pics below, better late than never. I guess I was happy with a stock set-up for a long time, in any case I got a couple more mods in mind for the future...M5tech bumper and sides, AE's as I see some of the awesome rides on this board.

Not a typo. Yeah 30 series on both. There is gonna be a slight speedometer error but no traction warning errors. Others on the board may have a better idea of how big the difference will be.

Hi Bronze, did you check with Gerry at Bavarian Exclusive? Also Trinity(Nerweezy) or B2Bauto (Charles). You probably did but if not, these vendors are all on the board.
