It has taken 8 weeks but I am happy with how the 20" Forgestar F14 in black gloss turned out on my AW E60. Suprisingly these F14's in 20's with tires are 5lbs lighter at each corner then the stock 18's with Dunlop RFT ( :thumbsdown: ). The ride quality has actually gotten better with the new wheel setup running 255/30r20 and 275/30r20 and the car feels lighter when cornering. I also got installed this week a Remus sports exhaust which makes the car sound much better minus the droning noise at freeway speeds. I'm not sure how much it helps performance wise but I'm sure my turbo's are happier with less back pressure. The last mod's I have for the year is to mount my roof and trunk lip spoiler and then I'm done 
, for this year at least.

Wheels Look Great!! It's too soon to say you're done for this year dude 
I like the black roof too. Did you wrap it or spray it?
Very Nice LCI E60, Clean and tasteful

I had my roof vinyl wrap by Don since he drove up to nocal for a week. He did a great job and it was a clean install, no cutting on the paint. It was a better option since it only cost me around $200 to get it wrapped.

I was suprised too. After researching the fact my new setup is lighter then the stock and i dont have the rft sidewalls the ride should be good. Ive driven the car a couple of times on my 90 mile roundtrip work commute and the ride is better over the rougher parts.

Yep its the stock sports suspension. The tire size i had to go with are a 1/2" OD taller which makes it look lower then it is. Luckily it is about 1.2% variance to stock so my speedo is only off by about 2 mph. I am debating on going with h&r/koni combo to drop it another 3/4" and tighten up the suspension.
