I finally got the chance to take pictures of my new CS-01 rims just in time for summer! I also finished all the wiring for the M5 mirrors yesterday and got the puddle lights to work. I LOVE THOSE LEDS! Matches the interior LEDs perfectly I didn't have any fitment issues cuz they were OEM Doing installations yourself is SOOO rewarding. Thank you all for the DIYs on this forum. I bought the mirrors and coilovers from a member here and hopefully I can get the coilovers at the end of the week. Also, since my car is black on black on black, what color should I paint my calipers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Looks awesome. Go black on the calipers, keep the theme alive. Also, red calipers or any other color with non brembo or stoptech brand looks CHEAPER imo.

does your car have the sport package?

Mr_Jihen

Black eh? Yeah that's what I was thinking... didn't think the stock brakes could pull off red calipers. Nope, I don't have sports package. This is what 19" wheels would look like on a non-sport suspension... I wonder if I should wait till I have a body kit before putting coilovers on...

Mr_Jihen

What do you think about silver calipers? I know the stock looks silvery... maybe a few coats to make it more noticeable but not flashy. Someone on here said stay away from silver.... I wonder why though..

silver would look fine. when you do it make sure you paint the hubs as well. It easy and makes the car look a lot cleaner.

Looks great love the mirrors and the color of the wheels, man i want some m5 mirrors

I think silver would be just fine, just remember brake dust will form over the paint.

Thanks for the compliments guys . I think I'm gonna contemplate what color the calipers some more... would it be too obnoxious to go white calipers?
