My baby with new shoes
It's a poor resolution pic, and it's raining, and I don't have time to take pics...but here's the best I can do for now. I'll post much better pics when I get some time to clean the car. Picking it up tomorrow morning for a drive to Cleveland>

My Silverstone II with 20" BBS RS-GT's and Michelin PS2's:

Well, I may do the Hartge springs, but I'm going to track the car. I'll use the OEM wheels and tires for my initial tracking. I'll probably go to track tires once the conti's wear out. I'd worry a bit about compromising the handling with the lower springs. I'll wait to hear more from existing users.

Re: My baby with new shoes
Nice shoes. Is that the Silverstone? Also, are those an anthracite wheel? Hard to tell if it's just shadow or if they are a darker wheel? Like the look. Always been a BBS fan.

Thanks for the pix.

Re: My baby with new shoes
Okay, I answered my own question, it is Silverstone. Can't wait to see more pix of the car with the new wheels. I love the dish on the BBS's.

More pix please.

Re: My baby with new shoes
wow! love those wheels. I may go with something similar, anthracite or dark centers that is. Did you get a special fitment for the M5? Who is your source?

Re: My baby with new shoes
Looks great Wolverine! I agree with Frylord though, dropping it 30mm or so would really set it off.

I've been contemplating what size wheel--I had just about decided staying with a good 19" aftermarket wheel, but now, 20's are looking good. Thanks for keeping me guessing

Looks good! I bet you appreciate the light weight BBS wheels. It looks to me like you could even go to 21" on the M5.
