The bumper/bonnet gap is easy to fix. my 2 problems are:

1) bumper middle higher than the bonnet, bumper 2 sides lower than the bonnet.

2) bumper/fender gaps uneven, I think these gaps should be very tight if done correctly.

I just found out mali's ten split looks pretty much identical to the M3 stock rims.

They actually look better in mono color. But I still like the F14 better.

Mlai, are they machine-faced? ie. the silver part is real metal with grain not paint (covered with lacquer/clearcoat)?
If you want to experiment with them, as RC says maybe if the black background part painted lighter or made all metal for more 3D effect looking from an angle.
btw. machine face cannot be repaired, if they are do not scratch them or they will never be perfect again!

They are brushed and not machined. Not going to bother with modding these as I have another set in a month or 2

I think they definitely look better in person. Pictures are deceiving sometimes.

Looking forward to your new set of wheels in the near future though.

Btw, how is the ride now on your Michelin Pilot Super Sport?

What tire sizes did you end up going with?

Had the PSS for a day so far on very light travelling. But they are definitely more comfortable than the PZero Hero I had prior. Haven't not had a chance to push them yet, and will be away for the next 12-days..... So will probably be a while before I can give some thoughts.....

sizes: 255/35R20 and 285/30R20
