    Not really feeling the wheels in silver. I think they would look better in black

    Any chance you kept the template for the rta mount Plates?
    I was going to do the same but if I could borrow your template I don't need to have the car in bits for long.

    I think you should keep the wheels silver. Looks smart with the blue.
    Nice bmw too!
