Yes, I had the rear fenders rolled. They are +32 front and +42 rear offsets.

Driving in to work this morning, I did hear some slight rubbing sounds when I hit some dips. These are pretty serious dips that really compress the suspension. Normally when I hit this one in particular at 75 or higher, I will hear the headers scrape.

I will say I am totally surprised at the ride quality. I was expecting the twenties to be really rough, but truthfully, they don't feel any worse than the 18"s so far. The ride was never silky smooth to begin with. Also, the tires are not making excessive noise. I'm happy with them so far in the first 70 miles. The only negative I can think of is that the car wants to tramline more with the fat rear tires. But that's if I'm just picking nits. I'm going to get some aggressive street starts in to see how traction is.

There are some black headlights available now that look great and are built well. I have just installed Depo for the E63 style which can even be color coded around the projector prior to installation or have a look at Spyder if you want to really get modern with LED daytime lights built in. I have also converted my inside lights (hi-beams) to the same color temp xenons for a consistent look when all lit up. That was one thing that really irked me having crisp higher kelvin xenons along side washed out old fashioned yellowey halogens.

Another finishing touch is to use "stealth" or silver bulbs for the indicators. Makes for a much cleaner look especially with the Depos.

i've had a different set of their brand for well over a year and have never had a single issue with them. They are cheap for some reason but the quality is still there. But this is the cheapest i've ever seen for a set of nice looking wheels

i remember when i bought mine over a year ago, a lot of people here gave me crap about them and talked sh!!it

they've got a very nice looking and professional website too

Where are you located? Possibly interested for my CLS55 (if you're willing to tackle those headlights, too.)

So far they're great. Smooth quiet ride and they hooked up pretty well. Oh, and when they spin from a launch, they actually make a proper burnout noise.
