Looks GREAT Daniel!!!

I love the color on the FM5's. I've debated when my black FM5's turn purple (again) I'm going to have them powdercoated, and I've wondered what a darker silver (gun-metal gray) would look like on a pewter car and that looks very nice.

And the stance looks perfect, not slammed with a crappy ride and not anywhere near the 4x4 stock height.

Yeah, how is the ride with the bmr springs (are they the new version that are exactly like strano's)? Is it smooth or harsh on the street etc.?

Looks very nice! I like the FM5 just think, IMHO, that it would of looked better chrome or polished. But nonetheless, good choice!

Awsome setup, for those who dont like his setup. If we all had the same taste as you then we would all have the same exact thing. wouldn't be fun going to a car show and seeing 50 red ws6's with chrome TT2's. rather see all unique cars.

17x10 front and 17x11 rear Fikse FM5s.

I definitely wanted to be different and I had never seen this color FM5s, so I went with it!
