Default New rims finally installed

I was never a big fan of chrome and loved the black/comp gray look. Finally got a chance to get them installed yesterday loving the look! all I need is a hand wash,zaino and some tire dressing and my car is ready for a cruise.

Here's what the ride looked like before those comp grey wheels mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night less than a month after owning the car.

thanks for the compliments guys.

yeah I had the car on stands when i was swapping the tires out so I had the pucks in didn't remove them afterward. probably going to swap them out for the lower profile BMW ones.


I was considering lowering it , but haven't gotten around to reading up on how to do it, is it fairly straighforward with stock bolts ?
