and a picture of my new M5 mirrors...can't wait to put them on . Looks like the back might need some spacers for the BBS...the 167's was ok. Thoughts?

Nice... maybe you could also consider springs vs. spacers. If changing between the 167's later would springs cause rubbing issues with those wheels. Either way, shoes are looking good...looking forward to the M5 mirrors getting installed as well...

No freedom's is 20"...mine's 19" I got mine some time ago, stayed in the garage because I had the 167's on. The mirrors I got from the group buy...which I manage to pick up from Seydi in Dusseldorf. I wanted to paint the underside separate piece of my mirror like the grey off my 167's. Now have to take the mirrors apart!

Nice, can't wait to see the mirrors on. How much did you end up paying for the mirrors after shipping and customs?
