Well, after having 19" AC Schnitzers on my last E38, I guess I was kind of spoiled. The 18" M-Parallels looked a little... well... SMALL!! It's true... size does matter. :)

So my wonderful husband bought me a set of 20" Racing Dynamics wheels and then upgraded the brakes with Brembo slotted and drilled brakes. Could a girl ask for more in a mate? :)

Here is a closeup of my wheel and brakes. I put Brembo slotted and cross drills brakes on my car. At first, I had Mintex pads and found that it dusted almost as much as the stock ones. Now I have Rotex pads and they barely dust! I would highly recommend the Rotex Kevlar pads.

Another thing we did was made the roundells monochromatic. It was a many-step process of sanding with progressively finer sandpaper, masking, spray painting, and clear coating. Therefore, these will not peel like those stickers that they sell.
