We really need to change the wheels. I saw a new f10 today with the 327 wheels and initially thought it was a 320i.

i know that tinting the reflectors will look good with your black and white theme.
but imo color matching them is the best solution. it's up to you though.

juztinl, have you decided to get the 20"? I think they are at least $15k for a set. This is the reason why I wanna get the 19" to save the $5k for every tire change.

You know what my wife said when I told her I am getting the F10?

She said, "I don't know how to drive a BMW...."

Yes that's the place. Maybe just renovating but who would bother with a tire shop. Yes they have a lot of made in china replicas.
