I set 2 lights to 1/2 power and set my camera to 200 shutter and 10 fstop. Once I got the photos I went into post and did some layer masking along with a little Black/White conversion on the foreground and backround with some burning and cloning. It took me about 15 minutes to edit each photo.
Camera Equipment:
Canon 5D MKII, Canon 24-70L lens, 2 Alienbees B800

Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels are custom made iForged wheels I designed they are 19x10 +18 Gold Chrome with a polished steplip.
Yup iforged it is..back then they only have step lip barrels on 20's..none on the 19's. It took me 90 days on wait time for them to make me a set for my bmw e90. Be careful tho, those barrels(same as HRE, DPE wheels) bends easily when you hit a good deep pothole.

Here is a Before and after for you nothing special but atleast shows you what I did exactly
Well if you think about it there isn't much reinforcement with the typical steplip but if you have a reverse or European steplip they are much stronger. Also you were running 20's which means you probably have a 30 series up front and 25 series in the back which are rubberbands and easily can get damaged by the slightest pothole. I had an Audi A4 Avant before with 20" Steplip Essens and I remember how thin the tires were and I caught a nice pothole on the freeway going 100+.
