Iv'e always loved that matte color. time to change the sig; new wheels new signature?
have you ever thought about going for the gloss black kidneh grills, i think it would complement the gloss roof, and door pilars nicely.

Over the counter Duplicolor Wheel spray. They make clear as well. My exhaust setup is made up of custom piping that begins at the cat and just splits into a "Y". It makes the typical V8 sound we all love. I like it. No drone and the sound mellows our above 3.5k RPM

I'd really like to see these on my sapphire black M5....hmmmmm
Hard for me to say. Both looks are great… I felt like the DPE's set me apart from a lot of the regular setups but also kept me from driving the car as it should be. This setup,cost less than 1 of those DPE's new. That said-- get em' they won't even dent your pock I bet.

Gloss black no, but CF crossed my mind as it would have matched my splitter and hoot vents. Too much $$ to spend for me right now on a mod I don't care for. I literally just plastidipped my OEM grills and I'm perfectly fine with them. Maybe some day.

Thanks man. It's OEM. With the exception of these wheels the only thing that's replica on the car is the mirrors. If I could find a good deal I may swap for OEM .

I'm still be drooling over the DPE setup since I saw them that one day in person. The new setup is nice, a conservative "nice" haha!

Yea, Im really happy with the finished product. Patience is key. I almost thought about not sanding the wheels down cuz I'm lazy, but I said screw it and I put in the extra 5 minutes per wheel.

I tried to do the math regarding the offset and wheel dimensions and I don't think it woulda worked even though my fenders are rolled and pulled.
Thanks Bro, I do wish the Vertinis were more concave in front. They had the space, it looks like they could have easily shaved 20mm off the center and made them more concave. Still, I really like the way they look, even the chrome lip is growing on me
