I just recently lowered my car even more. UCF's do look good with these wheels. I'll also post a picture of the caps that I used.

Would be a good option for those not wanting to run the bmw emblems.
BMW centercaps are actually two pieces, so usually people buy just the face because that can be swapped out.

In my opinion, a better option would be getting real Borbet centercaps, they sell the face that would just replace the BMW emblem. Thats keeping it original.

Ordered tires, lugs, 1 inch adapters, waiting on right price on wheels (few on ebay, few on other forums).

BC coilovers will be at my door tomorrow, poly sway bar bushings.......alignment and stance......should be done with in 2 weeks.

I am stoked.

Polished or chrome looks hella balla! Alot of people seem to not keep the wheels for a long time and end up getting more expensive wheels

they're beginner/training wheels to the slammed/fitment scene, but dont get me wrong they're nice wheels. planning to get another set of these when the right set for the right price comes along for beater wheels.
