blklacker · 09-26-2008, 12:36 AM

Love it......

ssabripo · 09-29-2008, 02:21 PM

how much did it cost to get them painted?

Templedogg · 09-29-2008, 02:59 PM

$300 total out the door.

Smallbodybimmer · 09-29-2008, 05:07 PM

Wow! Looks awesome. Was it neccessary to unmount the tires? Did you have to do this yourself or was it included? Rebalance?

Templedogg · 09-29-2008, 07:06 PM

That is a hidden cost, yes you have to unmount the tires, remount and rebalance....about $100 total for me.

Bizall · 09-29-2008, 07:14 PM

Looks fantastic. What black color did you chose? Matte? Semi-gloss? Thanks.

Breville · 09-30-2008, 06:28 AM

Wow, those wheels look awesome!

Temple, can you notice a large difference in handling with 225/255 vs stock 215/245? Also, do you know what the weight of the tire is?

BMW_x5_Msport · 09-30-2008, 10:49 AM

I have H&R Springs and Sways and they have made a bigger difference in feeling for corning and accel. Going from non runflats is a huge difference in all around feel though. Sorry, not sure the weight....TireRack may have that info.

Here are some more pics today, a couple even while the sun came out for a minute.

SICK!

I...can't....stop...looking. :eyebulge:

AlBel1214 · 10-01-2008, 02:08 PM

That is awesome!... I really hope to get this done... it would be nice to find a place where they dismount the tires and wheels and do the PC...

Advanced · 10-01-2008, 06:31 PM

OMFG!!

ssabripo · 10-01-2008, 06:39 PM

templedog....where did you get it done? i've been trying to find a place here in S. FL and haven't had much luck. :-(

gatorfast · 10-01-2008, 07:08 PM

Beautiful! The black really compliments the montego.

Bahraini135 · 10-01-2008, 07:36 PM

I love it!

how lower did it go with the H&R springs? Ride more bumpy?

Templedogg · 10-02-2008, 12:55 AM

Thanks guys, I got it done at Bulldog Powdercoaters in Mukilteo WA for $300 out the door. Some places wanted to charge me per hour for sand blasting with not estimate on amount of hours, so went with the flat rate. I am not sure if they ship, but you they may know other PCers in your area if you call them.

Not sure the lowering amount, check H&R site for Sport Springs.

Also a note to anyone looking to go black to hide brake dust....basic driving, yes it does a great job. Hard day at the track.......not so much! I don't think any color could ever mask this much super heated dust in only 3 sessions.

Minicobra1 · 10-02-2008, 04:31 AM

Templedog, I may just have to stay with the stockers now!:w00t:
What front rotors are you using? and has anyone weighed the stock rims?

Thanks!

Braden
