Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.

Minor mods are already in the works:
-Matte black grills are on the way.
-Matte black "530i" emblem is on the way.
-Chrome tailpipes to be painted matte black.
-RPI Intake scoop by end of Jan.
-Replace shift knob.
Those are the mods for the moment.

The springs and shocks will wait for now, happy with the way it rides at the moment.
The bumpers and side skirts will have to wait as well for now.

Once again thank you for your kind words.

The style 172's are OEM equipment from an E60 550i.

Sorry not selling them at the moment, may need them later down the road.

Great !

It was either the 172's or the 166's for me when I was looking for wheels. Got the 166's but I still like the 172's a lot.

Congrats

+1... I have seen gunmetal as well. 172s are my favorite OEM wheels.

Gotta love the 172's. Those look like they are hard to clean though.
