Salutations to All that Drive the Five:
I have a 2008 N52 Alpine White. I finally pulled the plug and got 20" Miro 111 staggered set up (F8.5x20 +18 offset; R9.5x20 +18 offset) covered with Hankook Ventus V12 (F245/35/20; R275/30/20), and lowered with H&R sports springs. Here are few pics of how it came out.
Thanks to Nerwyll & Joe at Trinity Autosports (Tustin, CA) for the amazing customer service and competitive pricing. Good looks to Tony at Evasive Motorsports in Santa Fe Springs, CA. for installing everything.
Before (stock sports suspension, stock 18's all around with Dunlop Runflats)

Looks fantastic. I was so close to pulling the trigger on those same wheels (20" Miro 111s in hypersilver). I went another route but a part of me still wants to pick up a set. Thanks for sharing your pics!

Thanks Kaizen. The Miros are a good wheel for a decent price. What wheels did you end up getting?

It shouldn't take too long for "normal" people but I tend to overdo things, haha. You want to make sure you use brake cleaner/degreaser and maybe a wire brush to clean them off well. I used a can of paint from autozone designed specifically for calipers. All in all I think it took me around 3 hours. Most of the time was spent waiting for the paint to dry. I believe I put on 2-3 light coats. There is a very good DIY in the DIY section.

Thanks man. I have been entertaining the idea of wrapping the roof but not sold yet. Kinda light the all AW going on. We'll see though. I need to see more whips with black roof.
