BKMTXX. Looks like they call it Shadow. In Satin Black.
Requires proprietary lug bolts. It's like $55 for the set, but since I only needed 5 they threw'em in.

I was able to get 2 backs in no problem with the seats down. Bottoms-first to get them in, one at a time. Fairly large roller bags too.

I'll give that a shot next time. We were going to take my son's Camry originally but he had a "close encounter" with a neighbors brick mailbox a few days before.

My clubs "just" fit behind the wheel-wells in the trunk. I have to put the left end in first then drop the right in. There's some rubbing but they fit. Just. No seat fold down in the 'vert.....

This weekend I think I fixed my front tire rubbing issues, something of a redneck fix but a fix all the same. I bought some coil spring spacers from Jeff Bezos and put them in on Saturday. They made no difference to the ride height so I was skeptical when I took it out but over the bumps I heard no rubbing at all. I think it still catches the aftermarket PS fender when turning over bumps but I can live with that.
So, no change in ride height and rubbing fixed. Win Win.

Also put on my Alibaba charge pipe and Tial knock off BOV, drilled a 1/2" hole in my manifold for the vacuum line, without removing it....'cos I'm a rebel and figure that tiny pieces of plastic won't hurt the motor as they get compressed and roasted at 800 degrees fahrenheit. The 11# spring I bought works perfectly but the silicon coupling that came with the charge pipe had to be cut down by about an inch so it would fit.
It's all a bit of a squeeze because the BOV flange puts the BOV snug up against the power steering reservoir. I can see that would help if using a dual cone intake system like BMS but since I heard the DCI makes no difference other than the sound I took mine off again and went back to stock.

Will run it like this for a week then MHD stage 2+ as I finally have all of the supporting mods in place :-)

Every time I see your car I like mine a little bit less.....that color.
"Hey everyone, I bought a brown car"
Followed by derision.....then - "wait until you see it"

So, 3 series hubs reduce the offset by 10mm ? As in they stick out 10mm less ?
Is that fronts and rears or just the rears ?

Just the rears and it's 10mm less "poke" so you could essentially run the same fitment wheels and tires with 10mm lower offset

I did mine a month ago, the old ones were yellowed and the gasket disintegrated. It makes the car look a good bit cleaner, worthwhile purchase for sure.

If any of you could see my car right now you'd be so disappointed lol. It's a new level of filthy at the moment. Took the pupper to the beach with the 1er and needless to say there's sand in places there should never be sand. I need to do some serious cleaning!

At least you didn't beach it like desertman123 did...

I'm not immune from the dirtiness either...it hasn't been washed in 2-3 weeks, and the receipts from numerous fast food stops are piling up and overflowing from the door pocket. It is a WHOLE yikes, as my peers would call it.

It's been eating away at me too I gave it a slight vacuum and wash to ease my mind but my car is in serious need if a detail but I've thrown the cover on and will let her sit for a couple of weeks while gas continues to rise and I will drive my truck and not worry about it lol

Understatement! I went with the 91 Oct (second stage 1 map), what a difference. Think my neighbors are upset because I launched the car around the block to check it out. Man you can hear the DV valve going off when you stomp it. Impressed with how the OTS tune is working so far, car feels overall better with power and drive ability.
