Can you post some picture with 214 style on? How do you like the ride so far compare with stock 18"? Does the Toyo tire rubbing the front fedner when you making turn?

Thanks for all the help.

I hardwired my V1 the same way I did it on my M5. I used the courtesy lighting wires (green and yellow wire) and grounded it to one of the mounting screws. I have the V1 positioned just next to my rear view mirror. It's the same spot where I mount it on the M too. Looks great and is concealed.

If there are no hardwiring instructions on this forum, check out M5Board or E60.net.

I never drove the car with the stock 18s on it. I have not had any problems with tires rubbing so far.

I got my rubber oem mats from Tischer BMW, great service, incredibly fast shipping and good prices. I highly recommend them.

Nice Photoshop job...I just noticed these pics! I like the nose of the X5 w/ the led strips in it. I wonder if they make anything for the E53 to make mine look more muscular like that?

PS - Love the Obama/Biden sticker

EDIT - I love Google....G-POWER GmbH **News Single[tt_news]=305&tx_ttnews[backPid]=315&cHash=8fd8f4837e Now to search the site for E53 kits.
