Calipers done...!

Vorpel · 10-15-2018, 05:02 PM

I am not mechanically inclined so I'm pretty stoked that I did this.

Havy · 10-16-2018, 12:05 PM

Looks really good. Well done.

Good job and I like the color. It is a very discrete yet cool red color tone.

Havy · 10-16-2018, 12:11 PM

You should have painted the ones from your wife’s car first as practice

I have to repaint mine as well. The pre owner painted them gray

I thought about it but it was very possible that I would have walked away from doing it saying never again...! Then hers would be done and not mine...!

I just noticed how it compliments the center cap badges. Def a good look

I'm pretty happy that it also matches the interior fairly well. Now I'm rethinking smoking the taillights. The pops of red are nice.

JamieTailor · 10-16-2018, 09:37 PM

I love your rims

jjasonSU · 10-18-2018, 02:55 PM

Looks good. I'd leave the tails as is

BMWDIYer · 10-19-2018, 09:58 PM

Looks great. What size tires are you using? Looks like 21" wheels.

Thanks! Those are 20's. 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 (maybe 20x10) in the back. They are Beyern Aviatics in gunmetal.

nice wheels. offsets?

DC650 · 10-22-2018, 10:24 PM

Looks awesome! Only thing I would of also done was paint the center of the rotor (where its that shiny silver color) a flat or satin black. I did mine and it makes a pretty big difference. It doesn't stand out so much.

The tires are Continental DSW-06 high performance all season tires

Fronts: 245/35 ZR20 95Y
Rears: 275/30 ZR20 97Y

The rims are Beyern Aviatic 20's in gunmetal.

Hope that helps!

The 20 offset for my front tires make them stand out, but no fender rubbing, etc. I think that it makes the car look ore aggressive which like.

sixfiftyay · 11-07-2018, 11:35 PM

looks phenomenal. i'll be surprised if i don't have issues with the rear. you look super flush with that +35.

Here are a couple of side profile shots (35 rear, 20 front)

FBMWWINS · 11-08-2018, 07:25 AM

I think your setup fits great. Front is for sure impressive.

For myself and I have mentioned in other thread I'd like to see a 10 or 10.5 with ET 20 on the REAR of a 650i to hear real feedback from someone who has done and (hopefully) has no issues.
