I wouldn't get lesser quality suspension parts. Yeah there unseen but I think it's the most important part of the build.

Nah, if I'm changing out my wheels I rather go aftermarket. Don't get me wrong the wheels look good but on a bmw. IMHO

Interesting texture...plasti-dip or textured paint? The contrast should look good.

I'll have to see the final results. Texture is not my thing but it can turn out good.

Turned a perfectly good wheel into something ugly.

Does not flow with the car at all.
