My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
I love mesh wheels, but something about those mesh wheels don't do it for me. Maybe it's that I prefer the concave look over the convex look... Regardless, the kit looks great!

sigh.... So I'm getting my first dose of rubbing issues with just me in the car. I guess I need to slow way down on those dipping curves. Thing that worries me is what it will do with 3-4 people in the car. This could very quickly become the end of my 20's and have to go to with OEM 19's.
Anyone else share some insight/experience? The thought of rolling fenders just seems excessive.
