My Ride: 05 545, non-sport,silver gray, premium, cold weather, I-pod adapter, Predator Ice, M tech, Logic 7, hardwired V1, Remus exhaust, soon to be: 18" Beyern multi wheels w/ Michelin Pilots
I have stock 05 545 w/out sport suspension and 17 inch. wheels. Thinking about swapping wheels to something more reflective but not necessarily chrome. Also should I go up to 18's? If I increase tire size what else will I have to do to car? Also are Beyern wheels any good? I live in Illinois, salt and rough roads, can I even have a lip on the wheel? Thanks for putting up with the newbie questions.
