I could not resist taking a few pictures before putting the front bumper back on and cleaning the car lol. I will post proper pictures in about a week with everything put back together.

They look great!!! I'm completely jealous, still waiting on mine to come in. "any day now...any day"
Quick observation: Both of the wheels on the right side have a fair amount of balancing weight directly across from the valve stem. Did the other two wheels balance out the same? A black sharpie would make the weights less noticeable.

Thanks lowpro! I am not sure on the weights, but will definitely check it out. As far as a sharpie is concerned maybe. Hopefully yours come in soon. What finish did you get?

I'm on the conservative side and went with the brushed titanium in 18's. Yeah I know, not very exciting but I was looking for something close to stock with a nice drop in weight. Lot's of luck with the new setup!

Mikey - Wheels are looking good. I see your bumper is off and I think thats because you just spilt the cooling system, are you putting the original one back on or are you changing it to the E63 bumper?

Either 18" or 19" will look good on our cars. They really make the car stand out, so I am sure you will be very happy

I am just putting the original back on. It would be nice to get the update, but its out of my range for now.
