Had a serious car weekend. My new rims arrived (Vertini Hennessey's). Also took the opportunity to do a complete detail starting with clay bar, then Meguiars M105 Mirror Glaze compound to get out the swirls and correct the paint, then 2 coats Zaino Z-5 and a final coat of Zaino Z-2. Also recently added the matte black grill and M5 lip spoiler. Loving the wheels so far, might go with a 5mm spacer in the rear for a little more aggressive look. Also trying to decide if I need to lower the car or not. Maybe an Eibach Prokit?

looks great, i like the way those wheels look on your car!!
as far as the drop is concerned i dont think you NEEED it. but if you have money to spend then do it. It will look good but i think its looks great as is.

I am thinking of getting 5mm spacers for rear as well.

+1 Your car looks great! No need to drop. Instead, may I suggest using the money to fund an Mtech front bumper(Trinity has it at a great price)

Is that where you got yours from?
