hey monaco... how long did the wheels come in for you? i bought them from bmwwheels.com too recently (12/31) as a New Years present . hopefully they come before the meet, but i doubt it. btw your car look great!
Where do you live in FV? I use go to FVHS.

BMWWheels.com is located in Arizona and the soonest they'll ship is probably the 3rd of Jan. It'll probably be there around the 10ish.

12mm spacers out of stock and backordered. I got tired of waiting, cancelled my order, demanded credit and did search on ebay.

Thanks VT for the advice. Ride is great w/ noticeable lack of vibration at low and high speed .

I was worried about vibrations at certain speed but nothing to fear. There is none. The machining is okey and I can't say the same with H&R since they are unavailable.

After driving the car with the H&R coilovers for 3 days, I have decided that this is not what I want. The ride is too harsh and annoying. It does not feel like the ultimate driving machine that it was before the drop. I guess the coilover is meant for a 525i/530i and not for a 545i. Now I have to order the same 12mm wheel spacers (sold to VT) or maybe even go for a pair of 15mm .
