i was going to critique the wheels because i thought there were two sets of screws around the edge of the rim... then i realized it was because your lip is so shiny! Congrats on a nice looking set of rims!

Wow! I really like those. What size are they, diameter & width? Also what make? I'm looking to replace my OE 17" minilites, even though I really like the design, I just want something different. Anyway nice choice.

Loved the Iforged (especially Daytona) on the M3, but not sure about the Seneka's on the Mini. I can't wait to see what they'll look like. Hey are you on the M3forum as well?? I love LSB! Still running stock rims?

you guys are crazy. notice the lug pattern? those are for the M3.
DSM----who did you buy from? was it from D2Autosport? or from iforged themselves? if you don't mind me asking...how much did you pay? they should of ran about $3K right? I was gonna get the senekas for the 3 but I am gonna go with the aeros. they look great!

Very cool.

Now all you need is a 14" brake kit behind them....

Well, maybe some tires first I guess.
