They do stand out a bit as the only silver parts, maybe get them coated black? Or a metallic grey darker than the body?

If you want to see what it would look like without spending a fortune, mask up one wheel (or two on the same side if you want the extra work) and spray with black peelable PlastiKote.
It'll let you see what it looks like and peels off easily for you to revert to the original wheels

all black or all grey, mismatch of the two will look utterly gash
as for EDC & lowering, i had Eibach sportline springs fitted to my EDC equipped F32 with no errors or crashiness after install

Thanks.
I have spoken to AC Schnitzer (UK) and they will do me a set of their springs (made by Eibach I believe) and Eibach spacers for quite a reasonable cost. They are quite close to me so will fit them too and do a re-alignment.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Not sure how close you are to motech - but they do these on a daily basis, the acs springs are just the eibach pro kit which have been re-branded, i did extensive research when looking what to lower my EDC fitted car - motech should be cheaper again for you too and are a propper set up

Thanks. Wellingborough is not far. I will get a cost from them before I go down the ACS route.jamie_z4 wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 9:48 pm Not sure how close you are to motech - but they do these on a daily basis, the acs springs are just the eibach pro kit which have been re-branded, i did extensive research when looking what to lower my EDC fitted car - motech should be cheaper again for you too and are a propper set up
