Glad to see your set up finally and congrats to the hard work!!

I especially like those muteki nuts and how they are poking out a little
but not too much.

Oh and after all the wrap and carbon and what not and
everything you have done, what made you go this kind of
simple and clean route???

Thanks!! Yeah one of my favorite parts is the Muteki lugs. Great quality and come with low profile sockets so they don't damage the wheel pockets.

To be honest, less headaches. BMW engineers stuff for a reason and you realize this once you start changing things. Carbon fiber is nice and makes people think you are "serious" about modding and gets a lot of attention, but isn't worth the weight reduction for the money. Front lips break too easily. Engine tunes are cool, but in my opinion they are too unpredictable, especially piggybacks. The wrap wasn't durable enough for a daily. The best mods for the money, which are still on the car, are the suspension, exhaust, and tint.

I just love my car now. I can just wash it and get in and drive. I don't have to mess with the body work, tighten down hood pins, worry about whether or not the tune is actually working, worry about a rear end collision with the carbon fiber trunk (trust me they do not structurally test those and are flimsy as hell), or worry about pulling into a driveway because my lip might catch and break into a million pieces. lol

I see, you certainly have a point!! And your car looks good!!

Yeah, like they always say cars are cars when driven…

Rear end with a cf trunk is something that I dont wanna even imagine...

What suspension mods? I was Planning to get LM before decides to go with CH-R, I don't think I can take a good care of the wheels lip. Very nice color man! Wonder how much you spend by directly import from Japan. Last time I check, I have to at least have $5 grand to bring it here, that's too much for me.

Looking to get a different set? I love what you did with them, never would've thought of doing cream on gray but it works!

[vma1788]

Looks very nice. I wish you chose proper sized tire to suit the motorsport wheels. A 235/265 setup would look mean!

What are the specs of the wheels and tyres?

[TWMPerformance]

Damn, those wheels look super fresh!
