There has been many a time I've said to myself WTF? When looking at BMW's low torque values but I learned my lesson with aluminum when I was into motorcycles... always torque to manufacturer's specs.

I spent a few hours prepping and coating the new wheels with Optimum Gloss Coat yesterday and installed them today before a 200mi trip to Charleston.
So far these new Coopers are bomb. They ride quiet, very smooth, and don't tramline a bit. Can't comment on grip yet, but they're for sure a great highway tire.
And a final pinstripe shot for Peter:

Yo, I didn't even realize you had a pinstripe. Straight Al Capone up in this hizzy.
P.s. those rimz are dope, let me know when you need a back up hoodlum for your rap video. You know, the ones not doin' nothin outside the G5, straight stuntin' (these comments are only partially sarcastic and fo real your whip looks straight fire, son).
