Looks great but needs a drop, painted hubs badly needed, and shadowline trim. Remember the second you get low profile tires and you're still sitting at a stock height it just does not look right whatsoever.

My Ride: 2007 530i
The painted hubs/calipers will be coming soon...and the drop will come when I get the M tech kit...any suggestions on the color I should paint the calipers? I can't figure one out...I'm planning on putting the black and white BMW emblems on the car and the wheels so I'm not sure what color will complement it

Shadowline that car asap! The chrome is blinding me. 
The chrome trim really does not work with/go with the overarching sinister black theme that that ride has going on.
