Thanks man. I've been hearing that about the handles a lot. I actually been meaning to wrap that tiny chrome trim piece in black since I got the car. I've replaced all of the other chrome parts on the car (except for the M and BMW badges) with carbon fiber, unfortunately they don't make a carbon fiber door handle trim, so I'm wrapping it black.

Looks epic!
Any rubbing at all front or rear with those monster sized rear tyres? What offsets are the wheels? |

For those of you wondering about the 21x12s with the 325/25/21. I've attached a little picture. I can also now confirm that traction is greatly improved both from a roll and from launches. Acceleration that would cause wheelspin in the past now result in no wheelspin. Launches are cleaner and the car grips better. Let's see how the tires hold up in the long term compared to the PSS.

You can do that, and as far as badges you did a right thing, it cheapens the looks of the car right away when replaced

Thanks Brian! I'm still amazed at how well everything worked out with this fitment and how much I'm enjoying the wheels, not just the look but also the 325 tires have made a believer out of me. I've been stress testing them hard and there is just so much better grip now from the added contact area with the road. I'm slapping BMS back in to see what I can do now that my tires don't spin like tornados on launches.

BTW here are some pictures from today's visit at ADV1 HQ and Wheels Boutique to take care of some minor details, cause it's really all in the details with these things. Wish I had more pictures to show and better ones for that matter, but Florida weather has been all over the place these days, and I rather wait for my official shoot with ADV1. Also take a close look at the first picture and try to guess what car drove by in front of Wheels Boutique as we hung out there. Hint: If I had nine hundred and eighteen problems this car would be all of them.
