Summer wheels finally on!

So, finally got a chance to install the wheels that I purchased LAST YEAR haha. Got some summer performance tires and thanks to Cipher5 for hooking it up with the used set of TPMS.

Wheels are Curva C7 20"
20x8.5 fronts wrapped in 245-35-20 tires
20x9.5 rears wrapped in 275-30-20 tires
with polished face and black barrel.

Overall they are nice wheels and much lighter than my M5 reps that I had on before. Measured the tread on my tires when I removed the m5 reps.. 8/32 in the front and 7/32 in the rear. Not bad for over a year of beating it up.

I now need some spacers to get her all flushed. There is a gap between fender and top of tire. Need to order 12mm for the front and 10mm for the rear. Going to rock these during the summer and switch over again to the m5 reps in the winter.

Now I have to get my M5/650i sways installed...

"Finally Finally the Rock has come back to blah blah!" Lol! Looks good bro! Took you long enough! Car looks clean as hell! feelin' those skirt extensions you did and the whole front end conversion looks bad a$$! also, what are the sways gonna run you and are you planning on doing it yourself? i got quoted $500 for the labor install and was told the back was going to be a PITA because it required dropping something?

I haven't called around yet. I need to get the car off the ground to do it myself. I think that would be a total pain in the ass with jacks and jack stands. Rather just pay someone to do it on a lift.

You don't want to try to do the front sway on jack stands. The tires need to be loaded for the end links to line up with the sway bar ends. Not sure about the rear, but I believe you can get at it without a lift.
