Here is the tires spec for E60 M5 stock wheels: 255/40 ZR 19, 285/35 ZR 19, one size bigger than the standard E60. Considering the F10 wheels are one inch larger than the E60 wheels, the F10 M5 presumably will be a little larger than the E60 M5.

So, the E60 M5 wheels should be similar to your 331. So I say the 331 are not too bad, after all the F10 is only a little bigger than the E60.

Most likely the Forgestar F14. I sent an email to the shop for a detail quote. No response. May drop down there soon.

I found it easiest to upload pix onto flickr, and they've got "share" buttons that allows you to copy and paste the photo links into these BB message boxes........

I was hoping to have breakfast in front of pictures of your beautiful baby!

PS. Another way is to create a garage here and that allows you to upload 8 pics of your car which you can link in your messages.....
