i swear i was not going to mod this car lol.... already had it for 16 months with nothing done to it, and now it finally bit me 
came across these wheels and i knew this was it, the look i always wanted. they are Radenergie R20 20x9 / 20x10, tires are michilen pilot sport 255/35 front and 285/30 rear. car is still on stock suspension so it doesnt look so great yet but just from slapping them on it looks pretty nice i think 
i just took quick shots with a crappy digital camera and the car is a little dirty so dont rag on me for that stuff lol
well on to the pics:
so now that i have gone with wheels, naturally its time to continue forward.... i've debated on the replica M5 bumpers but i'm not too thrilled with them and i see a member's breyton lip on sale, which should i go for?
another thing i'm considering right now is changing the color of the spokes to either black or gunmetal with the polished lip.... do that or keep it the way it is?
thanks and appreciate any comments.

My Ride: 2008 Alpine White 550i Sport, Cream Beige Interior, 6-Sp Manual - retired 9/2011
Get some graphite centers and have the lips polished up. You rubbing in front on 255's?
And the Umnitza M5 front bumper is what you should get. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=umnitza
Looks nice.

i like it, i think the stock suspension looks good. It isnt sitting up really high at all. Great choice. If you are going to do anything to the wheels i would turn the blades black and polish the lips. If not they still look sexy as hell
You can't avoid the mod bug. It'll always get you.
