Taken a little while, and a few hicupps on the way, but today finally got the M5 looking like she should.

Thanks to:

  • Robbie and the guys at Valet Magic for the carbon trim wrap
  • Steve at Race and Road for the BBS rims
  • Martin and the guys at Tyrebarn Newbury for the Michelin Super Sports

Looking good. I am toying with those wheels. What size are they?

Fronts are 9.0x20" and rears are 10.5x20" with the following tyre sizes 255/35R20 and 285/30R20

I used a 12mm hubcentric spacer on the front and no spacer at all on the back

Doesn't look right at all imo! Wheels don't suit it; and i love the BBS CH's...Funny how some cars suit them (Audi's, VW's, 360's) and others don't.

Standard alloys would make that superb.

Don't think the black goes will with the colour.

Looks good mate. Love most of the BBS wheels, including these.

Would I be rude to ask how much they were?

Couldn't agree more.

Are you looking at the same picture as me? Looks awesome although I'm not sure I'd want the silver rim on the wheels.

Thanks everyone

The "silver rim" is a stainless steel rim protector that can be replaced if the wheel gets kerbed, quite a neat idea.

Black wheels dont suit at all imo. Be interested to see if that syle of rim suit it in silver or anthracite as then you xan see the detail properly.

The wheels make it look cheap but still a great exterior/interior combo.

I like it, at least it doesn't look like every other Tom Dick and Harrys! Could do with a little drop.
