And to think...how long did it take for us to convince you to drop your car? Looking like a beast, G! I miss the time attack, but the pure black looks really mean. Now, all you need is a blinking LED light going side to side in the front and you'd be riding in K.I.T.!...

those are gonna be winter wheels, non stag, I CAN run a stag setup, but because this is a winter setup, I dont want that WIDE of a wheel, stock width is 245 front, 275 rear, and these are gonna be 245 all around.

as for summer/spring set-up, I haven't quite decided what I want yet. I think I might want a set of DPEs, but again, I haven't decided, well, besides, I'm quite broke.

Sorry Carlos!

I'm just updating this with the new wheels on the e60.

So finally, I ordered a set of winter wheels, Miro 346 Time-Attack, 19x8.5 all around, wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S 245/30/19, and of course, TPMS

here are some shots!

enjoy!
