Well sold my stock wheels last night so had to throw these on. Haven't had a chance to put my new tires on them or swap tpms sensors. These are going to be my winter set up. The chrome is flaking and even after using the shadow line tint kit these are 10 footers. So going to use snows on them. I will say running a 245 on a 18x8/9 makes this car handle so much better versus the stock 225 on a 17x7.5 square set up. I also really need to install my coilovers and drop in. Anyway I like the look overall

My Ride: '08 E61
Finished KW V3 and M5 rear sway bar install last weekend. I also installed new tension and control arms along with strut bearings.
Going from worn out 60K mille struts and shocks to a refreshed front end with coilovers is a HUGE change. Amazing difference in ride. I am very happy with the way the car handles.
Next up...sort out the rim offset wizardry with M5 drive flanges and pull the trigger on 19s and M5 brake install.

I have always liked the look of the style 197 wheels that prevailed on the sport packaged E90s. I had a set that I lucked out buying for $200 but they were staggered. I put them on my zhp for a bit (to buy me time while I saved up to re-finish and square up using the proper style 135 wheels on it.
So, once I got the zhp sorted out, I couldn't resist the urge to square up the set of 197s (traded my 8-½" rears to a guy in CT) and put them on my wagon.

Window trim warpped in Matt Black
Got some Matt Black Vinyl wrap from my friend, it took me 1 hour to do both side.
I don't have a heat gun so I used Hair dryer instead. It is my first time and result is pretty good.
