aftercorbu · 01-08-2012, 03:41 PM

WOW

fantastic. love the detail of the colored lugs. really tight.

BaldTyres · 01-08-2012, 07:21 PM

Wow! Great looking car! Love the Sepang Bronze, but also love the contrast of the wheels and the lugs.

dekaliber · 01-08-2012, 08:10 PM

Very tasteful. Really nice color combo. I like the blue lugs as well.

Do you leave the towhooks in all the time?

dubsesd · 01-08-2012, 08:19 PM

Wheels look great! Not feeling the tow hook, but if you like them I would match the lugs

Endless619 · 01-08-2012, 10:18 PM

Again, with 19s to look really good you need to lower your car. A lot more than your very conservative stance right now and I would add a Mstache lip painted in your car color. That would look 10Xs better. You would be surprised how much different and more aggressive your car would look. For the better of course. Ditch the JDM craze tow hook as well. Your car would look off the hook.

Thanks guys!

Only if you pay for the repairs when it rips off on the Safeway parking lot ramp

maverickdxb · 01-08-2012, 10:24 PM

looks fab! where did you buy the tow hooks from? Mine isn't long enough to clear the front bumper.

RADRACR · 01-08-2012, 10:40 PM

^ eBay. I agree it's hard to find the longer ones but they do exist. Usually you can tell from the pictures, but it's hit or miss.

HAHA, sorry can't help you there. I actually like your car color a lot more seeing your pics. It looks stunning in pics.

My Z4MC had a 2 inch drop in the front and rear and it cleared everything with no issues. I was running full suspension.

You know whats funny is I took a look at another Z4MC last week with an Mstache lip with just H&R springs and it was on the ground. Like one inch of clearance so I can say without a doubt with full coilovers on my car the lip would sit on the ground. So I am glad I never went that route. Always thought it until I saw it in person in Seattle.

RADRACR · 01-09-2012, 01:20 AM

Weird. You sure they were H&R? My H&Rs give the very conservative drop as noted. I dunno where you're driving to not have a problem with that kind of drop. I'm scraping regularly, and if I creep any slower I'll be going backwards. And yes I do angle it. Not to mention the speed bumps at Trader Joes that are so high they scrape the middle of my undercarriage after the front wheels are over

I live in Oregon where the roads are in good condition where I live. When they ice up though it sucks. Then the gravel hits the road and I have to drive the X5. I have H&R springs in my M3 now and it has a finger gap front and rear and to me thats too high. I need one more inch in the front and rear and I will be set. Sucks having EDC in that aspect. Car rides good though. So next week I am going to look at full suspensions for the e92 m3....

Anyway this is your thread, not mine. So back on subject OP!!!!!!! What did these wheels run per shoe if you don't mind me asking?

VinnieAces · 01-09-2012, 09:53 AM

any shots of a full side view? (no angle just a profile view)

looks awesome again btw!

Thanks! I'm not too crazy about the straight profile view tbh. Hence, no photos

But I'll see about taking some later.

$750/shoe. I inquired with 2 or 3 different vendors before settling on **********s who were the cheapest and best customer service.

But here's the robbery: I wanted to use BMW center caps and the conversion rings were an additional 50 DOLLARS each! $200 for 4 metal rings. Absolutely ludicrous but I deemed it necessary to complete the look I wanted.

FerRrari · 01-09-2012, 03:22 PM

Love the Advans, I really wanted a set in 18".

Loogey Clapp · 01-09-2012, 03:30 PM

I often wanted to see what your car looked like. The pic in your signature was always such a tease. I agree. It looks great!!

philippelyp · 01-09-2012, 09:38 PM

OOh, so pretty...
Need blue lugs =)

philippelyp · 01-09-2012, 09:51 PM
