Love it - absolutely spot on.
I have the same wheel gap issue and haven't dropped it yet for the same reasons you have. That said, I'm *this* close to pulling the trigger on the KW sleeve kit. What wheels are you considering? Here's some inspiration (20" BBS FI):

Thanks bud. They are not gloss... Not totally flat matte... But they are satin. They have a 'sheen' to them. But not glossy.

So I'd like to 'up' the look of the M, but it goes everywhere...meaning the wheels WILL get boogered up. Not if...but when. But while I'd like to keep my budget around 2500, that won't get me anything better than flow formed. And since my current 343's are forged... I don't want to get anything less than forged. So, I've got my eyes on BC Forged.

Nice car you got there! Im thinking about doing spacers too, are you 12mm all around? I see most others doing the 12-10 setup. I cant seem to tell the diff!

According to Turner Motorsports, 10mm spacers should never be used on a BMW due to the hub lip depth.

PhilT3,
I must admit that blacked out trim and wheels has never appealed to me. However, your pics actually got me to spend some time appreciating how sharp it looks if executed with the proper color vehicle and not overstated. Well done!

This is what's so great about the automotive hobby. I truly view cars/automobiles as 'mechanized art'. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And just because a certain look/color/design may not be someone's preference, a true connoisseur will appreciate any 'piece' done with taste.

The black wheels really complement the color of the car. Nice!

There's a whole in depth write up on Turners site regarding the use of 10mm spacers.
Yeah....I'm sick of the winter already!! East coast sucks for a car guy!
