Damn and I thought my sidewalls were thin. They look good though. I'll possibly be powder coating my wheels after I put the stocks back on for winter. Supposedly there's a guy that's charging $60 a wheel. Which I think is cheap. Will let u know if that is true and the quality of their work. VMR paint is pretty thin and began flaking in some spots.

What problem do u have with the tpms? Do you not have a set? I bought an extra set for the new wheels and left th originals on the stocks. I have a set of pre-lci that came with the VMRs that I don't use. But it looks like you got a lci.

What are you running?? This was the recommended set up for xDrive and 19" staggered and I didn't want to reinvent the wheel so I went with it. Where is the guy located? I would be very interested as well but I need to strip this flat black paint off first, unless he also provides an affordable option for that as well...

I do not have a set of tpms, first time getting after market wheels and completely forgot about it until the light came on, what a noob right? haha I do have an LCI. I will probably get my hands on a set later and put it when I do the coating/paint striping. Where do you guys get your tpms installed? or do you do it yourself?

Car looks great OP!! Very clean

Only recommendation is a drop & delete the orange reflector on the bumper to make it more sleek

Thanks!!! But I feel the wheels don't stand out enough.

Saving up for kw's next year not in a rush to drop, supposedly still no rubbing with 19s but kind of iffy about that. Been 50/50 on the reflectors I don't hate them that much but it does look much sleeker without them.

I am on kw's and don't rub. Also running 19" CH-Rs with staggered tires. Just don't slam the thing and you'll be fine

Oh and no fat chicks

ooo got any pics??(no intentions of slamming or dropping that much at all) So I have noticed that if I turn my wheel 100% to either direction and tug a bit I hear a whining noise, I assume it is just the PS? I looked into the well and didn't see any contact at all.

Also have you had any issues with the thin sidewall?

[E93Manny335]

Looks nice! Lowering a little to get rid of that wheel gap, and your set!

[Torgus]

yeah I would get those powdercoated. that and a slight drop and it will look great.



I have had zero issues with a 30 size side wall.

[jor2cool4u]

Looking good!

Looks dope. Was thinking of titanium/ gunmetal but might have to consider bright aluminum now.

Glad to hear the 30 side wall won't be an issue.

I'm running recommended as well. Maybe it's just the angle of the pic. I'll have to find out where the powder coat guy is and what's the costs for stripping and powder coating. I just heard about it from my bro-in-law. I got mine installed at import autowerks. I get the family discount there..removal of pre-lci tpms, install of new lci tpms, and balanced for $40.

DANG already sounds like steal.

Where did you order your tpms? I believe I need to order an adapter too for bbs...

[hz_diesel]

BUMP.

Going to get these wheels powder coated and refinished. What is the most ideal color? Kind of bored of them already, so wanted to pick a color that would be easy to sell. Seems like BBS Silver or Titanium is a top choice.

Recommendations on where to get it done as well?

Thanks.

[Torgus]

My vote is a bright silver of some sort.

[zero2sixtyZ]

Silver.
