My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels

I was just so excited, that I had to share. I got my wheels and tires today and decided to take a few pix before I had them mounted on my car (this Thursday b/t/w). So before you start slamming me for not having these on the car and telling me these are useless without a point of reference (the car obviously), I thought I'd share. The final pix will be here on Thursday. The finish is flawless!

The wheels are: Velocity Motoring VB-3's. They are a staggered set up made up of the following:

Front: 19x8.5 ET40 (245/35/19)
Rear: 19x9.5 ET45 (275/30/19)
Finish: Hyper Silver (These have a metallic black coat underneath the final 2 coats of silver). These are a limited edition color which I was very fortunate to get.

Tires: General Exclaim UHP

The wheels came beautifully packaged. Not only did they come double boxed and wrapped, but the actual wheels came with a black, cloth cover, covering each face! I was shocked. I took a shot of how they came.

Congrat Calton! You've finally done it!

But I would rather like to see them on your car.
