New wheels friends ;-P

It may not rub in the rear and if it does you can fix it with a very slight fender roll which no one will be know.

Reminds me of Silverbullet's car. He was one of the orginial members here and one of the first to put CSL reps on his car.

I think it might also look good if you got the CF mirror covers.

Hey, thanks for your quick answer

!

You said it may not rub, but wiith which lowering

? And about fender roll, I saw that on th web. Is it the real technical ? Where can I do such a thing ?

Did Silverbullet had some problems with lowering or else ?

Yep, I might it too, I really would like to have CF mirror covers : it would confer a more racing look to the car and moreover I prefer the looking like of dark mirrors (mine let appear some line on it I dislike

).

Here is Silverbullet's car. He was running 19s and I think they did rub on bumps, but I don't recall his offsets. He was an early adapter.

If you're going with an aftermarket suspension then you can adjust the height as needed. I would leave fender rolling to a pro if you've never done it. It won't cost much. The BMW cf mirror covers aren't cheap, but they look good and go with the cf spoiler.

Fidiman · 04-21-2012, 06:54 AM

Pfiouuuu ! Looks very, very, very sick !!!

I didn't know that I could adjust the right height with aftermarket suspension, I thought you just have an height given by the company and that's all

Nope, I've never done it, so if I have to fender roll, I should go to a bodybuilder ...

Yes, they are quite expensive, but the trunk spoiler in CF was too

! Is it better to buy aftermarket CF mirrors cover or BMW Performance ?

nice!

Bonjour,

How do you like the Hankoo Ventus V12 on the front.
are you also running on Ventus V12 on the rear.
I ask because, today i just bought a set of VMR 710 with the same set up as you and with the same Ventus tires.

Merci pour les info.
My new wheels will be powder coated Midnight Blue, from eAs.

Haaaaa ! That's the previous Silverbullet's car

! Your wheels are very nice and your configuration is very cute

!!!

My car seems to have lowered, I don't know if it's an optical affect or not ... I would post photos tomorrow

Edit : Do you think that would be possible :O ?

Fidiman · 05-04-2012, 03:55 PM

It seems to have lowered (mesures are from the center caps to the body of the car verticaly) :
- 35cm front contrary to 35.5cm when I changed weels
- 34.5cm rear contrary to 34.7~35cm when I changed wheels

Here is a crappy iPhone pic :

What do you think about it ?

ams109 · 05-06-2012, 04:44 PM

hmm thats why i suggested coils as you can adjust the ride hight but they are expensive but worht it

Edit : I didn't want to do just a teaser like ulrichd or BFD99 thought ;-)

Hi!

Could you please tell me which is that colour? I have some doubts whether it is Gunmetal or Hiperblack..

I would also like to know which is the offset for both front and rear wheels.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi Lumen

!

That's Gunmetal

Hyperblack is a bit darker and shiny

.

Front 8.5" and rear is 9.5", it fits perfectly at stock height with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear

! Perfahps should you test 225/35 front in order to have the same height of tires

Don't hesitate if you have any other question mate

!
