Isaiah, they are 19x8.5 et15, and 19x9.5 et20 and i do not have spacers on
They are charging you way to much to paint your calipers. Average price is around $100 for all .

Where did you get your BMW wheel emblems? My stock emblems don't fit my Miro 942...
Looks good man! Be careful, I hit a pothole and bent & cracked a wheel and blew out the tire... Waiting for 2 new wheels and tires.
Going to have my calipers painted matte black...

You have to do something about this IMMEDIATELY.


This is unacceptable sir! You have great wheels but you have very OPEN wheels so what you're inviting people to look at is what is beyond the wheel which is your caliper / rotor. What do we see? RUST BUCKET. Time to paint those calipers black and get some Premium R1 Concept drilled rotors son! See my little sig wheel photo for end results! Worth it big time!

yes yes lol, i was hoping no one would point out the "RUST BUCKET" , that looks sick and its next on the list, i get embarrassed when i see mine. How much did you spend all together for the rotors and calipers?
