Painted the calipers silver and the brackets black a few weeks ago. I think it turned out well, better than the rust finish. What you guys think? Ill try to post some better pics of her soon.

nice. I almost bought a 530iT that was orient blue with white leather interior...my second favorite color.

How do you like your AVS DB's? Real quiet tire aren't they? I love mine.

cheers and welcome

Very nice.

Those look like Style 32s. 17 inch?

I like those rims a LOT from the various pics I've seen. However, I've often wondered about relatively "open" styles like that - do the brake 'innards' distract too much from the whole look?

What's it like in person? Distracting or not?

I love those rims, i wish i could find a set myself, I like them because they are open and still to me atleast dont look to flashy or to open to me. I have seen other cars with them in person, i dont think they are to distracting

I have to say i think the style 32's look better on an e34 than the e39 they come off of. I agree you do see alot of the brake hardware, thats kinda why I got tired of seeing rusty calipers through there. im getting the itch to move to 18's tho, but I dont have the money and dont want to affect the driving quality as I love the way the car drives now.
