I did the deed. Got the work done at Proformance Industries in New Rochelle. They did a fantastic job of PC'ing the RAC's and fixing a little curb rash I had on one of the front wheels. George and his crew are real nice guys. Chatted with one of them as they were mounting the wheels. Has a beautiful E30 M3 with an S62 engine! Nuts.
As for the color, it apparently doesn't have a name, just called "Special". Looks black in the pics, but it's a very dark grey/anthricite-y/gunmetally color. Hard to describe but gorgeous. Tape line is perfect.
First couple of pics were right after they went on so the springs haven't quite settled. And excuse the filthy car. It rained today :thumbsdown:
All I can say is THANK GOD THE BLIZZACKS ARE OFF AND THE 305's ARE BACK, BABY!!!!!

:thumbsdown: for some reason the wheels look weird on the car with the color and the polished lip
Ed but they look nice, Tho' they are only one piece and not 3 nor light weighted I guess who do they feel?
Anyway the style silver or blue on black wheels is now common and I think that is ok. Your M5 is still of course nice and do not mind what we say bro

Hey mate that car is nice, but you are right as they are gun-machine and also a bit glossy color or what see the last pic with nice ///M valve cap, and the wheels are not the adonized like Alex has on his M5

As for the weight, they are 1 piece, but VERY light forged wheels. Approx 22 lbs per wheel.
If I understand the process correctly, powdercoating is sturdier than anodized??

Beautiful car Ed.
Are you considering the Dinan Stage 2 suspension?
Are you considering the Dinan Stage 2 suspension?
I would like nothing than getting the full Stage 2 but I just can't lower the car unless I get some wheel well modifications. The 305's rub. :thumbsdown:
I may get the front control system and the rear sway which is essentially the Stage 2 without the lowering/bump stops.
