I went to EF1/DPE motorsports in Signal Hill, Calif. and had them install the CDV and UUC short shifter. While there, the owner, Fabrizio offered me these 20" forged 2 piece wheels along with Bridgestone Potenza S03 tires. He offered to put them on and let me drive on them over the weekend to make my decision.

Yo, those look f'in sweet bro. Keep em. How much where those? I wanted those exact style DPEs but after shopping around they were kind of expensive. For that kind of $$ I would have rather get 3 pc Radenergies.

They are DPE, R07 Variant . They were used on a show car, 500 miles on the set, $2900, including BMW wheel locks. I am going to list my style 124 with Dunlaps, 5900 miles, in the classified section for pick up only at DPE/EF1 Motorsports in Signal Hill.

Wheels are really nice. What size tires?
And yes, mud flaps are the equivalent of the automotive pocket protector. Off. Quickly!

jtp,
Just a few suggestions:
1) Grab a bottle of Mother's polish and shine those lips. I promise you they will look even better!
2) Get yourself a lowering spring kit. The 20's do a real good job in filling-up the space of the wheel well but if you just lower the car 1" it'll look real sweet. You'll feel a stiffer/bumpier ride but you'll also have a better handling car.
3) Sell the mudflaps to someone with an Infiniti M45.
You've got one beautiful ride already!
