Nice mods to your 3.0si. I have the same mods on my 3.0si including the Michelin Latitude 's! I decided to add the flares on mine. (Personal Choice)

I am still undecided on the aero kit. My vision is to add the front piece of the aero kit and the rear M Sport bumper with painted moldings and flares. After that, I will add a aftermarket exhust. I am looking at Hartge but will wait to see the results from the Bastuck system.

Dose aero kit sold front and rear separately? I like M rear bumper too.
Please upload picture for me after you upgrade aero, M bumper and exhust.

since the tires are not runflats, do you feel any difference in ride characteristics?

I'd like to hear the answer to this too! I imagine it's better even though you have gone up in wheel size.

I rode 18" runflats before. My opinion, I feel regular tires more quiet and smoother than runflats.
but only problem is low pressure light comes on very often.
runflat has same problem???

Have you re-set the tyre pressure monitor since fitting the new wheels and tyres? That could be the problem.

On my previous car (535d) I fitted regular tyres and ran them on the car for three years which did not cause any problems with the tyre pressure monitor.

I agree..

$3k for the wheels and tires is great. I thought they cost a LOT more.
