New shoes and shoe soles
I have tried not to give too many updates as I know it just makes the wait worse. I ordered Forgeline ZX3P's in 19x8.5 +45 offset and 19x9.5 +50 offset at the beginning of May. I wanted the same combo as Turner's 128i but I wanted the inner rim to be satin black to make it easier to keep clean. They sent them with white inner rims so I had to send them back!!!!
 Luckily it allowed me to test fit the wheels, they got them back to me in about 2 weeks. They came in Monday and I didn't have TPMS yet for them. So today I had everything I needed. It took some work to find a tire shop that had someone skilled enough to do the job and not mess the wheels up. End result.....well, the guy that owned the tire shop and did the work said that I would want to pay him extra because it looked so good. I know you've all seen it, but here they are. I'll get some better pics as it was getting late.I am absolutely amazed how much better the 19" tires are than the runflats. I knew the runflats were bad, just not THAT bad. Hope you guys enjoy!!

 Man, looking at those pics again....sorry they are so bad.BTW: Huge thanks to Harold at HP Autowerks!! He hooked me up with the wheels and sensors and a number of other goodies already received and soon to be received. It was a pleasure working with him.

Wow, it's gonna be very close, those tires run very small. My 245x35's seem to almost run wider.

more quick ones, but at least it's light outside now.

Body-matched dish/lip on wheels has gotta be one of the hottest trends to hit cars in a while. Love the way this looks!
EDIT: Mirror caps and BMW Performance Spoiler both painted Jet Black would look SO hot on your car... You should consider it.

 It took me awhile to decide that I liked the look enough to actually own it. I'm not a huge black wheel fan, but the white lips just set it off IMHO. It definitely looks different from anything on the road in my part of the country.
