Thanks for the compliments everyone - much appreciated.
Gene, you're right about the rotors. I was holding off until I confirmed that I can't make the M5 brakes work on the car before making the purchase. I knew that once I put the wheels on (being so open), I'd need something to make the brakes look better.
On the plus side, I don't need to take the wheels off to clean the inner barrel - I just reach right through the spokes!!

So I finally got off my lazy ass and had some things installed on my car.
The Miro 942's are 19x8.5 +35, and the rears are 19x9.5 +33. They are shod with Bridgestone RE760's. I'm really happy with both - I'm rubbing slightly (big bumps, or heavy cornering), so I need to raise the rears ever so slightly, but overall, the fitment is great for an XI. The tires are super quiet, and pretty grippy.
The KWV3's are great. I guess I'm fortunate in that I don't have any of the clunking that some owners have complained about. The fronts are pretty low, with not much travel left. The rears have lots more room, but given the rubbing situation, they'll be staying where they are, or coming up a tiny bit.

Since I´m getting my KW3 and new wheels after two weeks I have to ask about the rubbing. Is it rubbing to the wheel arch or to the suspension components? With the ET33 I guess the wheel arch...my rear wheels will be 19x9,5 ET 40 so I´m just wondering
Those wheels are looking good
