the TPMS will not fit on forged wheels .. multipieces. That is what Vick said at Wheeloptions.

Also on the volk at least mine the air valve comes almost from the middle of the rim at the bottom half. So it comes up then makes like a 90 degree turn and comes out the spoke.

In my opinion, Black faced wheels with polished lip ROCK!!! Completely black wheels, depending on the style of course, just dont have the same "wow" effect and can sometimes just be a negative.

Here is a another blacked faced wheel with polised lip :D

If anyone finds someplace offering the black version please share the info. I've been looking for weeks for the perfect wheel and these bad boys are exactly what I'm looking for.

One of the best cars on this forum. Kudos to you. Exactly one of the setups I wanted for my car. Different colors of course, but your suspension, exhaust, and wheel combo is great. It's always a pleasure to see this car done right.

Thanks Speed-ER doc...I could honestly say that so far, I am completely satisfied with both my HKS Legamax exhaust as well as the Hipermax II coilovers.

I must comment that the factory appearance package looks great with what you've done to the car.

Awesome job.

Yeah, those are BBS LM's on my M3. The 19x8.5 and 19x10 combo runs about $3000 for the wheels alone. If you do some searching you might find a little better deal. As for the LM's for the 8, I think that will look pretty good. To be honest, I never really thought of the LM's on an 8, but now that you mention it, I think it will have a nice classy look. It might be a bit conservative for some, but an 8 slammed on LM's is a combo that you really cant go wrong with. :D
