Heres my 135i. I want that spoiler from the 135tii in my signature too.



Believe it or not, these 19inch wheels are lighter than the stock rims. MorrAlloys FTW.

I'm getting a Reflash, Spoiler, and Rims shall be my only mods. If I want a track monster, I'll upgrade to an //M.

I love that color combo. It's my absolute number 1 choice and I think it will be damn near impossible to not spend the money on the terra leather.

AW is really growing on me. After seeing these "real" pics I think the coupe has the same problem than the hatch. Big rims make a BIG difference. With small rims the gap between the tire and the wheel arc(?) looks huuge

I am not a white car person, but I think this car will look amazing in white. In fact, I'll go on record as saying white may be "the color" for this particular car. BMWs often look really good in white.

Not sure what color I would go with YET. Haven't see one in the flesh yet either. :headbang:

For those of you who will upgrade the rims will you stay with staggered front to back or go the same size all around?

I am not sure what it is about the real life pictures but something about the PS pics make it look so much nicer than the real life ones. Could be the wheels but perhaps the shadowline vs the chrome trim? The chrome seems to make the color transition from the white paint to the tinted windows look smoother.

its the color balance.... when u mess with it... it looks alot crisper and the blur tool 8)

mr roboto- most ppl will be keeping the staggered ... if you go same size i can only imagine doing that cuz its cheaper... cuz it really will affect the performance of a RWD car

Being one coming from a FWD car (RSX Type S), I will most certainly stay staggered. I can't wait to have a RWD car. Not to mention a slight upgrade in power.

As far as the color, those pics make a great case for the AW. I think at this point for me, it's a toss up between AW and the blue (I had a brain spasm and can't remember the name lol).

the csl's are what i have now.... i was going to sell them with the car, but man they are nice looking wheels, they really changed how the car looked. Staggered is the only way to go... looks so sexxy

I plan on going same sized for 3 reasons:
1. Cheaper
2. The ability to rotate tires.
3. Dial out some factory understeer that the mags have complained about.
