My Ride: Stock 2004 530i with most options. 18" M5 look alike wheels Bought August 2008 with 34k on it.
2006 Range Rover Sport with K&N filter and Borla cat back exhaust.
Maybe a Defender soon or an old M3 to play with, although the wife has other ideas!
Ok Guys-
Lets hear everyone's 2 cents for this.
I have a Mystic Blue Metallic 530. I have custom wheels that are silver in color and nice chrome lips. Settled on the Beyern mesh and they look nice. The folks that put them on painted my hubs and rotors black and they look a helluva a lot better than they did. Should I have them paint the calipers RED. Not trying to be a Brembo poser but I thought red would look awesome on a blue car with silver wheels. This is not going to be a driveway spray can deal, its going to be professionally done , the right way.
What do you think?
