I took some new pics of my 550 finally. I just put on my Uforged wheels from Umnitza yesterday. I had them custom make these wheels for me. They are 20x10 in the rear with a 5" lip and 20x9 up front with a 3.5" lip. I had them make these with a gloss black lip and a matte black center. These wheels look amazing and was well worth the wait. I had them wrapped in Yokohoma S drives 285/30/20 in the rear and 245/35/ up front. I ordered TPMS brackets from Iforged so that I could mount the sensors in these wheels. If anyone else has 3 piece wheels and wants to mount there TPMS should get these brackets. It says it should work for all 2 and 3 piece forged wheels.
I also swapped out my exhaust tips the other day. The old ones were just temporary to fill the space until I found the right tips. I ended up buying 4 seperate Magnaflow tips. I painted them matte black and had my exhaust guy weld them to a y-pipe staggered to better flow with the bumper. The tips are 4" each and had them staggered about an inch. They fill the space better than the old ones and look awesome. I attached some pics showing the process of mounting these.
Here are a few of the new exhaust tips

Thanks man. The other day when I was getting my wheels put on there was a Porsche Cayenne on the lift next to me. I couldn't stop checking out the exhaust tips. They look amazing in person. I kept telling my wife that those are the tips this guy on the forum has and how much I want them.

Thanks...I really wanted to get a custom set of DPE's, but I didn't want to pay quite that much on wheels. It costs me double the price most people have to pay. Every time I spend money on the car I have to spend money on my wife. It adds up real quick. I see you ordered a set of the DPE st-10's. I really like those and the Radenergie R10's.
lol
