VMR v713 on space gray m3

Couldn't wait until spring to complete my setup. I went with the VMR 713's and had them powdercoated an EXACT match to my Space Gray Paint on m3. The powder was named cosmic gray. I went with 255/35/19 in front and 285/30/19 in rear. I went with the new Conti Extremes from Tirerack. The tread is awsome. This is the same tire size setup as the new M3 GTS coming out. They fit perfect! The m3 in my opinion looks better with a beefier side wall. I have 275/30/19 on the rear of my 535 xi and it has a very thin sidewall which sucks on NY roads. To complete the look I installed H&R Race springs and added Macht Schnell 10mm spacers front and rear from EAS. This is a great setup, it is agressive looking with ZERO RUB!!!!!

Exhaust is next then car is done. This is my sunny day daily driver.

That was exactly what I was going to do. Excellent choice, now I have to think of something else to be unique.

Rainbow Powder coating in Deer Park. They are next door to my shop and have done my wheels for years. I chose from 10 diffferent shades of gray to come up with the perfect match.

I don't normally like the matching wheels look, but damn that looks tight! The drop, by the way, is spot on.

slight vibration at different speeds. nothing crazy. Wheels are balanced to zero. Liveable though. Any thoughts?
