I would definitely paint those rotor hubs black while you still can cause they will rust. Car looks great otherwise, PE would really set it off nice too.

Thanks, they are ST coilovers, ST is a company owned by KW, they are basically very similar to KW with a shorter warranty.

Yeah they claim it has a zinc coating to prevent rust but I bet you are right, I was thinking of either painting them or addind a cear protective finish,what do you mean by ''PE''?

Trust me on this one, My stoptech rotors said they had some sort of protective coating to prevent rust and about 2 weeks later after a few good rain storms the hubs started turning orange. You could get by with some sort of gloss black spray enamel. PE meaning BMW's Performance Exhaust. The aggressive sound with really go with the look youhave plus give you some nice tips out back

The wheels are 19'' x 9.5'' front, and 19'' x 10'' rear, I will have to look at the tire size again.

Don't know the offsets?? You should be fine with the 9.5 probably not that low of an offset by the look of it. I would get a 10 mm front and 20 mm rear and your good. Worse case scenario you fold the front fenders very easy its thing just lightly hammer the lip down

Yes I know Gerald and Adil. You should come over to LR the next time we have a group drive.

As far as spacers...depending on your current offset you could add spacers. I currently run et30 in the front and et27 in the rear using spacers.
