I have SPC camber kits for the front and for the rear. As of right now, I about 1-1.5 negative all around since I daily drive my car but I think having bad toe wears your tires out faster than anything.

Even though mine isn't as low as some of the guys here, I was still chewing my tires up in 5000 miles. I needed a camber kit in the back and adjustable upper control arms in the front to get the alignment right.

And yes, typically toe will kill your tires faster than camber, generally speaking of course.

Just an FYI, saw a youtube video about it.........you can flip those center caps so it wont show the BMW logo....just pop out the logo and flip it over.

I thought about going with a different color as well but I haven't really made up my mind yet. Everytime I clean them up, the factory finish on these wheels are so bright and it makes the car look so nice... Painting it a ridiculous bright color will make it look like a drift car
