The 87's are going into the oven for some baking cooking need.

Those 87's looked great, but its always good to make a change. Just keep the 87's for future.

You're gonna do what to the 87's? BTW, I agree I like the 87's better.

I almost didn't recognize you when we passed each other this morning, Tom. Looking forward to seeing the power coated 87's. Where are you having them done?

Good to see you again.
I'm taking them in some time next week to Exotic coatings in Romulus.

What color are you going with? I agree also, nothing is better then a stock bmw rim, the 87's are simple and sweet.

It's amazing how just 1" smaller makes such a big difference visually. Likewise from 19" wheels to 18" wheels!
