Crappy lighting, but I will take some better pics when the car is clean!
Titanium Silver always looks good. It's the superior colour.

Update..

Now ordered M6 replicas Silver/antrasite 19x8.5, only need to wait 1,5 weeks when arrived.

I have look that guys have used 245/35/19 tyres in xdrive 19" rims, this is probably good choise ?

I dont want to make any lowering in my 530xd.

Does the 19" setup looks a crap in 530 without lowering ?

Also ordered Schmiedmann frontspoiler lip, same wich Milko75 installed his car.

I am waiting for the pictures!

Especially the Schmiedmann front spoiler/splitter. If yours is the same as Milko75 and Anzafin, then I am really waiting to see what this looks like once it has been installed.

What tires did you buy to go with the 19" M6 wheels?
