Okay guys, the last few months I have done the following:
1. New OEM M-Tech Kit from Jason at www.getbmwparts.com
2. Authentic RD Boot spoiler from Calvin at SonicMS
3. OEM Trunk finisher from Nerwyll at Trinityautosport.com
4. Paint job at Michaels Auto Body in Fullerton, CA
5. New battery , IBS, negative battery cable and remanufactured CCC from Soley Bimmer in Mission Viejo.
6. New 245/40/18 tires
Now I am thinking of wheels!
I did ordered the Iconz from Daniel, but changed my mind because the decison on wheels was not as easy as I thought!
Here are my questions if you guys can kindly help me out:
1. I have 18" with 123 wheels on OEM BMW sports suspension right now. If I change them to 20's, would I lose a lot of comforts and enjoy less on driving my car? How much of comforts and performance will I compromise? How much HIGHER will my car look with the new 20's?
2. I have thought about going with 19's. However, would that not make too much of a difference if mine's are 18's right now?
3. My car is a 2006 530i with titanium silver. I want the car to look solid. Which set of wheels do you think will look best on my car? I know the choice is personal. But, to be honest
with you, this will be my last mod to complete everything. Unless the wheels and tires are really nice, I think $3,000 is my set budget!!!!?
4. I can't seem to cut and paste the pics to share them with you guys, can anyone point me to the right direction?
Thank you in advance!

Man, I love those DPE you have!
Do you mind provide me the steps on how to post the pics?
I can cut the pics, but can not paste them to this website!

Get yourself a (free) 'Photobucket' (or similar) account and then just paste the links to your pictures in your Forum posts (using the "Link" icon in the menu bar of this section).
That'll do the trick.
Happy posting!

If you want DPE wheels I'm your man. http://dpe-wheels.com/wheels for a $3000 budget check out the R/GT/LS Series. Or, I do have the Adv5.1 in stock ready to ship
