You know me better than that! I actually use my car! I’ll be getting the cargo container for the roof and maybe some bungee cords/ratchet straps for ladders and etc., lol

I think the wheels look too small for the car. They also seem too “ricey” on it. I don’t know why, but I never could stand most “tuner” wheels on a euro car. Even Volk’s on 911’s or BMW’s look a little off to me.

Yeah I hear ya, but I like them a lot, I just wanted a different look. I always like the 7-spoke design wheel on the newer 3 series (only about 2 yrs later, lol) and I wanted to do something different like last time. That and the price was right. Also, I love the sidewall because it allows me to “properly” hit those potholes and not worry too much, lol!
I gotta admit though, the pictures don’t do it justice at all!

The wheels look pretty good. If they were a little less shiny or the tires were clean and tire-shined (hint hint) it would look real nice.

Paint should be shiny, lol, but I drive my car too much to have shiny tires too! It only lasts a few day around here then it rains… Fuck rain!
LoL, yeah there’s a ton of silver w/silver around. There’s also a ton of people who do the same shit to the same cars all the time too! Break the trend people! Trends don’t start because you did the same shit as the last guy! I’m all for breaking the mold.
Well, grab some sand paper and I’ll find out how much the sealant is, and let’s do it!

Getting the bodywork done after the winterz… and some old guy running me off the road… and a small cut and pull on the rear wheel arches for more low…
Props to Northeast Motorsports for getting me in and working on the paint!
Here’s some middle of the road shots:

Thanks, man. Took me a minute to get used to them, but they’re all good. The only issue is that the spoke do come out very far and I believe they catch rocks causing them to chip.
