I'm undecided on what I want to do with my wheels, but seems to be painted center and polished lip though. With my car being black, the polished lip will def pop, I've gotten compliments of how they are now, beat as they are.

I kinda dig the BMW mesh as they are. Little lower on height but that's my only complaint. Not that my opinion on your car should mean anything to you.

And to quote stewie griffin "every chick with a camera thinks she's a photographer. Oh I took a picture of a lawn chair and its shadow, look how deep I am." Just because you used a expensive camera, doesn't make you a photographer. I sell my photography and still don't claim to be a photographer.

Murphy are those spec tc steelies? I've been pondering the idea of getting some diamond racing widen steelies but not sure yet. Those may be cheap, but offer up motivation!

I raised my car about 1 1/2" in the rear and 1/2" up front. Hasn't been this high in a while :/
Thanks mang. Everyone does seem to have polished or mirror finish lips with BBS. Didn't want that route and opted all black. I see that your are not tucking anymore. Still looks good thou.

Yeah tucking rim was proving to be difficult on my tire sizes. That and fender buckling just got complicated. As soon as a I can pull in a few extra bucks I'm going to get new tires and drop it back down. It's funny though, most people I know tell me they like it better at this height. I can't see why though.

I have no idea lol. The rear arms are maxed though. Or close to it. So maybe like 3.5 - 4?

Right on, that's why I said approximate since I figured you probably didn't know an exact #. Were they set to max or mostly natural?

Now that's a good watermark... Sad that in all honesty you have to do that with photo's now days, but oh well. I watermark everything just by export default setting.
