Would love to see how the front wheels and rear wheels line up with the body.



Or how about a rolling shot?

The more I look at it, I dont think you really need a drop..

BTW- Are the rear tires flush with the rear fender?

they are very close, but not quite flush,
it is a nice look...
although this morning it was waaayyy down.....practically sitting on the wheels
from what it looked like.....so I started it and it raised up......it was damn low though....

edit, I think I just understood the question: looking from the rear? no the tires are not flush at all down at the bottom....
is that what you meant?

Hyperion667:

I like the look with your new wheels. Nice job! In my opinion, those 10 spokes look better than the new base 19s on the 2012 E63.

Can you give us one more picture which would be side shot showing the whole car. It is tough to get that full perspective with the great but up close shots you have included.

Thanks!

One thing I really like about the Iridium is you get a few colors depending on what kind of light and angle you see it from

Thanks for posting the addition picture. Nicely done!

Can you tell any difference in ride quality over the 18"s??
