I think you should have gone 1 inch bigger. Other than that the offset is perfect I like how flush it is from the fender

^^ I take it back... it was the angle of the picture that made the wheel look small. The size is just right.

What an incredibly meticulous job they did today for a very picky SOB...let me know what you think.

Go back to Status tomorrow so I can see it in person

e39 m5

I am reviving this thread from the grave 10 years later in hopes to get some info from OP about this wheel finish. I'm actually an e39 m5 owner (please dont kill me guys) venturing onto this board! I have a set off BMW style 65 wheels that I'm looking to get done in this color, as it's very similar to the original finish. I saw you used prismatic black chrome I as a top coat... did you use super chrome as a base coat as prismatic recommends?

Thanks
