    Default Got my M-Systems back from the refinisher...

    I'm only $1300 into this project and don't even have tires!

    But they look great. They're in Atlanta and in in Indiana, but they're staying tight. I love the look.

    The lips are machine-finished and clearcoated. Debating about getting centercaps or not. ****, I can't even afford tires so...

    Looks great man, glad you didn't go with the polished lip... machined looks so much better. I vote no center caps, just get some t star covers and wear them when it suits your mood

    Appreciate the positive feedback guys.

    I'm glad I did machine-finish instead of polished...I was nervous about it but like it now.

    Bought the Turbines needing refinishing for $465, spent $600 on the refinishing (by a pro).

    About the covers, I have some mediocre turbine covers but won't run them. I want throwing stars, so if anyone has some to donate I'll be glad to accept.

    I think I'm going to run them naked with no centercaps.

    They are...I just had to ask local E34 M5 owners if they had an extra set...got lucky.

    I like em because they're light and strong. Look good too.
