535i X Drive with 20" black Forgestar CF10 Wheels

I wasn't sure about the black on black combo at first, because I thought the wheels would be visually lost, but I'm loving the wheels more and more each time I see them.

Wheel Specs: Front 20 x 9 / Rear 20 x 10

Looks good, but would look even better with a mild drop.

New Hope Auto in Brooklyn. They are the place Alan recommended. Subway station is right on the corner so I dropped the car off about 8AM and went to work. Picked it up on my way home Couldn't have asked for an easier scenario.

I think it's fairly close to me. If I can find a good deal on a set of ACS springs, I may go for it.

I think it would make your car look 10x better. Go for it. ACS springs are very comfortable as well. Almost undetectable difference from stock feel, just a tad tighter.

I put some thought into the springs today and decided to see what it looked like as I exited my driveway.
I think its fine for winter months, but the lip definitely won't clear.

This is one if the reasons I am in the fence with installing a front lip. I just can't deal with those issues anymore. I just want to keep the car clean and drive worry free.

Looks great and I like how you want with a light tint so it doesn't look all, How would you say it MURDEDED?

You might want to look into wrapping you window trim.

Yes! LACSTER approval! (Your car will forever be an icon for other 5'ers to look up to)

I actually would of gotten darker tints but there are cops that sit on a specific corner in my neighborhood waiting for dark tinted cars to drive by.
Sirens go off and they give you a fix-it ticket.

I never noticed how bad the mudflaps looked until everyone drew my attention to it

I'll either take them off, or have them painted Jet black to blend in, like my old G35.

Looking good. I just ordered a Eibach Pro Kit to get ~.8" drop, Old house used to have a curb, but the new one is shaved. I live on campus so I park in the garage and there is no curb at all, so it works out great.


Have you looked into blacking out your side markers and front reflectors and so on? You can vinyl the sidemarkers and get painted front reflectors.
