Nope! Those are BBS rims. They were 17" with the BMW bolt pattern. I liked the mesh look so i upgraded to the EVOS.

Nothing drastic, but I added blackbird stripes, tinted the windows, had the tail lights, sidemarkers and third brakelight tinted, added overlays, and did the CETA mod. Also added headers, flowmaster 40 series dumped, lid and tune via HPT. Oh, and a WS6store Short Stick. Heads/cam on order
