M5 with new painted wheels and some BIG BOYSSS!

So I went with the advice and stayed away from all red. I love the look, although it looks seriously similar to the Platinum Motorsports M5. The outer lip is actually a Dark Satin Deep Orange and the Wheel is Satin Black. The headlights were painted as well as all the grills to make it as dark as possible.

Anyways, I was messing with some of my neighbors cars today and I thought it would be a good time to snap some pics! What a fun day!

I'm usually the first to compliment you on your cars and mods but this time i can't i'm afraid...the time attack ring is too wide, it needs to be thinner IMO.

Some will like it, some will not, as long as you're happy that's all that matters.

Your neighbor has some nice cars!

appreciate the honesty! Honestly, I was doing my best not to have the rings thin. I actually had the option to make them as thick as I would like and this is what I chose. I wanted it to be more bold than just a time attack stripe! Im sure that I will change it up in the next few months, but I am definetely happy and love the look. At first, it had to grow on me, which took about 4 hours of me sitting in my garage staring. Then I drove it and was looking at the car in the reflection of other cars and windows and absolutely loved the boldness of the stripe. I was worried with a thinner stripe it wouldn't be bold enough for me!

Calipers are going to be done shortly, as I am trying to decide on a BBK kit or not!

Thanks for the honesty guys, and yes, my neighbor is the man when it comes to cars!

I agree with Josh, it has to be thinner as they are too in your face. The good news is that you did not go for that dreadful red wheel with red kidney's and your car looks stunning with the black accents when painted over the oem chrome.

i love the thick ring, i think it looks super sinister that way, I hate the fact that if the ring is too thin you usually can't see it in the first place...love the car if I had an m5 I'd want to do the same thing

I personally agree completely. The thick ring is totally badass! That is one of the sickest M5's out there!!!!

Love the M5, but I agree. The stripe is a bit wide for me. I'm not too sure about the smoked upper headlight, although I sort of like the way it ties the body in with the headlights. All-in-all still a nice car

Lots of nice rides, but...

so, so tired of black wheels. I know, I'm old and I know nothing.

although you M5 is very nice its hard to notice it when parked next to thoes other cars.
side note the rings look great the way they are. better pictures would show it cleaner.
