Beautiful. I'm not in love with the rim style, but they work with the M perf theme. I'd swap out for the black grills too.
Gorgeous car. Sucks about the run flats. You spent a lot of money, maybe they'll swap you out? |

Congrats Active. She looks great!
Do you have the rocker panel blades? I can't tell...looks like you have the decals without the blades which is what I'm considering. |

I think they might take some getting used to, for me, on the EB, but I am wondering how they might look on my BSM.... The 19' really fills out the well much better, no matter what though...

When I looked at this post on my phone, I tried to see if the blades were there and I couldn't tell, but looking at the pics on a good monitor I can clearly tell the black panel blades are there. Good stuff.

I'm not sure it does fill out the wheel-well any better than 18". The overall diameter should be the same, but the lower profile tire might have that visual effect.

Jason recently posted the prices for the Mperf parts, and the 19"s cost $4,100! Anyway to get an upgrade (from stnd 18"s to 19"s) at the factory level for say an extra $500? Otherwise, I'd pass. My dealer says no such option available, but things can change quickly.

Perhaps - plus the fact that there's "more" wheel in the same amount of space - to me, it looks more balanced with the 19' wheels...would definitely like to see this in person as well.

I am warming to the stock 18s but still wish I had the option of picking the car up with 19s from the factory...

Oh nice man, I'm getting an EB and planning on getting some M perf stuff. Can you take some more photos of the front if possible?

That's sweet man, I like the front. Have you considered the rear diffuser?
What did you use to paint match the body parts on the front and the rear? Vinyl wrapped or did you get them sprayed? |
