Just a quick question:
I want to upgrade my 18' rims to 19', I like 2 models but can't decide which one to buy, which one do you like more ??
As a little update: the M kit just cam in today aswell as the LCI taillights
the car is going in the shop Monday morning.
So the rims:
Style 128 or style 172 which one do you like more?
Attachment 72102 Style 128
Attachment 72103 Style 172
Thanks guys!

A little update on a couple of small mods
fitted the M172 rims looks great! Riding on 255/35/19 on the front and 295/30/19 on the rear (Michelin - Pilot SPORT PS2).
Fitted the LCI tail-lights (with a german retrofit kit.
A small but nice mod: I changed the stock shifter (knob) with a short shifter Knob (ordered the knob from a E92 catalog). It really looks great! It gives a nice touch to the interior and looks way better then the original one, and I like the look now with the shifter and LCI i-drive knob.
LED License plate lights
M Kit (Only installed the rear bumper, will intsall the rest of the kit next week, incl. rear wing)
That's about it I think. Will do a small DIY for the removal of the shifter and how to make the new shifter fit
Old shifter & idrive knob:
