Talking A Teaser: new rims

My new rims came in today, Very excited and very happy .

Bought from HERE
18x8 +38 offset all the way around. FYI these weighed in at 21lbs, pretty modest for not being forged.
did a test fit and everything looks great! Now I just need a black lug set, some hubcentric rings, and my tires to arrive. They are 245/40/R18 Dunlop Direzza DZ101's

Paint the calipers and the wheel wells.. I like all chrome a little better. I also noticed the BMW in the background. What series? I have a 2002 330i.

Oh and while the wheel is off, take tire shine from a squirt bottle and rub some of that in there. Will make it shiny black instead of dull gray.

Calipers will be black or red with white "Lexus" Stickers. Also will be having some homemade gixxer drew coilovers a little later.

The BMW is an 01 740i with only 30k and loaded with everything .
I also used to have a 98 540i (loved it), and a 96 740i
