my dealership I work with (Infiniti)was unable to give the vehicle an alignment, they said they need certain tools they don't have? I wouldn't think it would be a big deal as I'm just swapping rims/tires and wouldn't need an alignment, right? It SEEMS to be pulling a tad to the right but it could be my imagination?

Looks fine wheel wise... yes it needs to be dropped a little.

Once again i say Black caliper's and dont forget the rotor hats..

for those haters, the 1M has black painted / coated standard calipers as opposed to the fancy Brembos that are grey / Yellow for the BBK..

1M Brakes are M3 brakes ( nothing more special than that) so i dont think paintimng what you have black will put you into "poser" territory..

Good luck... looks good...

p.s. about your pull... drive it a few days and let the tires settle, remember you changed the cars footprint.. if it continues than get an alignment ( check the pressures first !! 2 lbs = pull.

I'm going with black calipers...getting painted tomorrow, I'll post some pictures...


also, when I swapped out my old rims/tires with the new ones (I didn't get the tire pressure monitor system TPMS put on), so the light keeps going off in my car (exclamation point symbol)....is there an override on this? My old rims/tires that I had on there DID have the TPMS on them. Are they transferable to the new setup I have, and can I keep interchanging them from my summer set to winter set, or...?

what tires and sizes did you put on? Any rubbing?

VMR V710 19in. Matte Black

19x8.5 ET45 mm
19x9.5 ET50 mm

Yokohama S.drive tires


No rubbing, no issues, slight pull to the right, not sure what the cause is, tire pressure seems fine?...I will be putting on the BMW performance suspension and I'm not sure what kind of issues I will have though, thoughts?

TPMS is transferable to our wheels. The only other alternative is to get it disabled using Macht Schnell kit from EAS from what I remember.

OP: Thanks for the post! My 710's (gunmetal) will be here next month, and I was a little hesitant about the look on my BSM 135. Car looks good, but your right, a nice tint (nothing too crazy) will complete the look.

Everyone has their own opinion on what a car "should" look like, but in the end, it's all about you and your car...

Please post the pics when the calipers are painted!

If you love your car, and want the tires to last, DO THE ALIGNMENT!
