Love those bro. Cant wait to see them on.
Updates
Sorry for the long delay, but I ran into a few issues trying to put them on. First issue was that after getting the wheels done, I had to send one off to fix a bend in the barrel. Second, I had to order a jack pad because BMW's use weird jacking points underneath the car and a traditional jack can't be used without this adapter. I simply refuse to use the scissor jack.
I'm waiting for this to come from Amazon.
Also, I had to take a break from the car due to work being hectic. I was sent on a business trip for a week and it ate away at the time I wanted to spend working on the car. :/
I'm really on the fence with this. It looks good but there is just something about it I can't put my finger on. 'm not a huge gold fan in general unless it is on blue like an sti, but it doesn't look bad either. People will probably say it's played out but I think they would look amazing in a satin black. Also, that is a huge lip.
YAY!!! Looks awesome IMO

they look great man, but have you thought of something more flashy like a royal metalic bllue or pearl white with cherry red calipers
Modding my j since I found the org
Love the Staggered look! Nice wheels, gotta love aluminum!
I'm looking to get some staggered wheels for my G8. Stance SC-5 to be exact. :-)

Same here. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I honestly dont care for gold unless its on black on red. The lip? Yeah, it's very big. I love it

I love aluminum too. It makes repairing very cost effective. I googled the Stance SC-5 and those will look awesome on the G8. Post pics if you get them!

Thanks. I wont be painting the calipers anytime soon. If I do, it will be black with BMW lettering. Also, blue/white wheels aren't in my taste bucket
approved
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

I like it but I agree something isn't just right. I'm up to see a photo shop with the gold color matched to the car.
On the fence.
Also can you get a bit of a better pic of the polish? It looks like you've missed the final step... they still seem hazy in that photo, even with the reflection of the phone.
What was the last step or two you did to polish them?

2000grit and then aluminum polish
I will probably hit them again with 1000 and work my way up a second time. It's not a big deal really.
Time for me to get a bimmer.
I'm doing everything by hand. No power tools were used. All tips are appreciated
My right arm looks like this now LOL
I would say color match the center of the wheel to the car. I just can't find myself liking the gold personally.
