I'm sure, even with springs, that you have completely upset the balance of the already highly strung M5. You can buy whatever you want, but in my opinion you're wasting your money to buy an expensive car like the M5 and ruin everything about the car's performance for the sake of looks (and I'm not sure you have been successful, IMO). If you wanted a project car you could've saved a lot of money by buying a regular 5 and modding it, and saving an M5 for someone who would appreciate it for its inherent abilities. M5s are not straightline monsters - try Mercedes instead.
Again, it's your money, but just my two cents. Promise all of us, however, if you do buy an RS, not to ruin it with larger wheels or pretty much anything else. For the sake of the rarity of the RS. Best of luck either way.
Btw, is anyone else bothered by the name "Platinum Motorsports"? Exactly what sorts or racing or motorsport are they involved in, other than fitting wheels detrimentally larger than stock?

all good bro...
but this is the problem, I haven't seen another M5 on the street that could see me..... the driver is a big part of it. but my car is a beast. I HATE CARS WITH STOCK WHEELS. I HATE NOT PUSHING THE LIMIT PERIOD.
with that said. I raced my cousins Porsche's. ran up against my gallardo and it's right there with all of them. I don't go into the twisties and drive like a *****. If I can't drive the car and have it feel better performance wise then the next mans M5, then I don't want my car. so trust me, on the way to bimmerfest, there were tons of M3's, stock M5's with stock wheels, or M5's with exhausts, etc. that were getting handled and smoked by me and my crew from PM.
anyways.....
here's 1 pic of the rear. I was too lazy to pull the car out to get a proper pic, but I'll show you guys the car in a full professional shot soon.
btw, there's 22"s on my lambo now.
and for the record, I've dusted a few r8's that have ran up on me on the freeway. I know they're not that fast, but still gave them the business.
goto motorcycle forums... I'm the idiot hooligan doin 150mph on venice blvd.
rides just like it would on 20"s or 21"s..... because I drive my boy's whip which is basically a twin of mine on 21"s and it's fine. mine just rubs a little, but not rubbing to the point where it's damaging anything.
