thanks for the feedback.. good point to know re: tires... I've been out of the large wheel game for quite some time.
Thanks for the compliment, appreciated !

Tire technology moves on. For example:
The optional OEM 19" wheels on my M135i, on average fr/rr, have a lower profile than 20" on a 997 turbo. And there are several car manufactures who offer tires with similar low profile tires today. 10 years ago this was not possible as tires did not meet all the criteria that car manufactures demanded.

Yes, GT2 seats. Best seats ever for me.
