Thank you kindly for the compliments. I use products from Griot's Garage (http://www.griotsgarage.com) exclusively. Can't say enough about their products and customer service. Easy to spend waaaay too much money with them

My Ride: 2008 535xi
Wow, this is the first post of an xi model with 19's, and it looks amazing!!!!! Is that stock suspension? I have an '08 535 xi and I'm on the fence if I should get the miro 111. But if they will fit like yours, I'll order the rims today. Please give me some details on your set up, you will make an E60 enthusiast extremely happy.
Thanks
Thanks

You guys have some gorgeous rides! For those of you on the Miro 111, are you guys lowered? What are you lowered on, and did you change your shocks when swapping out the springs? My 172 wheels are bit scratched up and bent on one wheel, so I have been debating new wheels. I'm under the belief when going with an after market wheel, a drop is needed to mitigate that 4x4 :thumbsdown: look.
I'm also pondering this same question? ONce you get new shoes for your ride, is it a MUST to lower it too? Would it look funny if you didn't?

I'm not into doing shock/spring/coilovers, and just really want to keep my ride as stock as possible with regards to the ride.

Has this car been lowered? I want to get an idea of what these Miros would look like on stock suspension.

Do you remember the offset on this setup you have/had?
