did you just go back to the oem bmw bolts? I think they look better cuz now they blend in with your wheels

P.S. your car does look lower in the pics then in your sig
Now that you mentioned it, they do look lower. Weird thing is I haven't changed my coil over settings at all.
usually coil overs don't settle so that can't be the reason. Perhaps it is the sunlight casting a bigger shadow?]

The bolts were just coated to the same color as the wheels: Flat black

Bolts on the wheels are black now?
Darn you beat me to it.

I like 'em blacked out. They give the car a more sinister look.
