Any pictures?

I replaced my two fronts because of leaks with arnotts, if i was you id stick with air ride all around, kw's are great and you could lower it and they will handle better then bags, but with bags you have freedom to lower or raise the car easily.

Pat G? Love your instagram.

No photos yet.

Thanks, I am sticking to Arnott. Am going to place the order for the air springs on Monday. Vanessa, one of their sales representative has been very helpful with the communication.

Hello and welcome

[Tahmid]

The red ones are the SAF Forged Wheels on Advan 275 front and 315 rear.
Spec original to car.

The one installed on the E53 are Hamann style 22" wheels with 295s.

Don't like the look of either one.

However saying that, I am thinking of powder coating the SAF wheels and putting them up for the time being.

Questions below:

1. Should I only paint the red part to silver or titanium?
2. Should I paint the complete wheel including the lips, so that it visually looks big?

Today will change the universal joint and Bearing Mount.

You should paint the wheel as you would have done if you hadn't asked for opinions. You will be the one paying for it and driving it and what you like you is what you should do.

FYI-you could plasti-dip the wheels. That way if you didn't like them or wanted to change the color later you could just peep it off.

Thanks bcredliner. I have decided to paint it, only the red part to OEM silver. Will see how it turns out. Fingers crossed. Read about plasti dip, unfortunately not available in my country. Taking the painting route.
