Hey Dwdrums00,

Wheels are tight! Any change to the handling and what modifications did you have to make to the suspension...any fender rubbing on dips? Also...gotta spend the 28 bucks and get the european reflectors!

THanks guys!!! The car has the sport package so I didnt have to lower it. The ride isn't bad at alll. I can Feel the bumps about 17% more then my stock 18's. The rear Tires rub only because GFG used the wrong offset on the wheel. So on friday I am taking the rear rims off the car and shipping them back. They are going to have to take 3mm off the offset. BTW I was running the Pilot sport 2's and they road like crap compared to these PZero Nero's. Lastly the car handles WAY better then with the 18"s. Nearly all Tire roll was elliminated.

Blackonblackonblack: I just got the car 18 days ago, so I haven't had time to get the european reflectors. Cut me some slack buddy =)

That is one thing about the 525 with regular tires. You dont feel any road noise nor any bumps.Iit is not as sporty as the 530 nor the 545 but I think it is much smoother and noiseless.

Then again who am i to talk about car. I drive a tutle. But I love it.

Sit back, driver it, listen to jazz, and enjoy.

well I am still in my 20's and I don't have a baby (thank God). With that said I am much more tolerant. Plus I love the power of my 545i.
