Even in California people think this looks stupid (spent plenty of time there).
It's more of a teenager thing that people grow out of, eventually. Last edited by Bimmer-Bob; 01-18-2011 at 03:01 AM.. |

Sick.... I do too Quote:
Guys my wheels look flush right now, they poke about .5" nothing too extreme. They only poke that less cause my fenders are rolled and pulled. I don't rub cause I'm not low enough. And I doubt I'll even rub as much as my old setup when I go lower. The stretched tires help. And about the stretch, it's not even as extreme as most of you guys think. more photos soon.

Little poke isn't a bad thing (that's what she said)

John, how is the ride quality difference from 19 to 18? I'm seriously considering switching my wheels and have 3 options, one being a 19'' wheel? Just dont want to sacrifice ride quality to much.

I always thought your car was the sexiest 1er around because it stuck to one principle I think a BMW should always follow: it should be classy. All your modifications were simple and elegant.. Those VMR 701's were clean and hell, they even made the silly chrome trim look good.
But now I think you violated that principle of elegance... In my opinion these new wheels look kinda silly and belong on a Honda or an Infinity, not a BMW... but everyone has a different taste so I do respect that.. So enjoy your new wheels! I'll leave you with one question though... if the problem was the rubbing situation, why not just go with 18" VMR 701s then ? Dammit! |

Originally I did want the V701s in 18" but it never did happen. I remember I did state that fact in my progress thread somewhere. And if I really wanted a similar wheel, I could have went for some Advans RS, which btw do NOT have the correct offset, in fact the closest Advans RS that would fits this car is almost the same offset as these CCWs. I did my research. So you read my mind. This is not the end of me and VMRs though, rest assured If the wheels don't sell, I have something up my sleeves well with 18's you can have more tires without rubbing I would go with 18s if you want comfort. non rft of course.

Just so everyone knows why I'm not rubbing....
Fenders rolled Fenders pulled 4x4 status currently I can technically fit wheels that are in the high 20s offset with no camber. with camber maybe mid 20s right now. future plans make me tingle. how it currently sits..... and will sit like this til next week cause of this... all my weekend plans for the car gone down the drain... Offsets are just numbers people, making it work is the goal. I'm not the type who will conform to the rest. NO csl reps, NO breytons on my baby. I'm the hipster rebel child in the family. (can't believe I called myself a hipster....) To me, modding means to be unique, everyone may have his or her own opinion and I respect that, thats why I AM NOT going to trash my threads and turn it into a childish flame war and have it ultimately locked. I merely had the wheels mounted and there has already been a riot. I haven't even done much yet

Yeah thats the exact reason why I still dont have new wheels on my car yet. Not because I dont want to, but because Im trying to do something different and its backfiring. Exclusivity and trying to be unique is usually very expensive, very easy to get dicked around and there's tends to be a lot of waiting involved. |

ouch bro, sorry bout the HPFP. I'm glad there are people pushing the offsets of whats actually possible. I remember w/ my last car, at first people thought +20 on a 10.5 wheel was crazy but then as people started to push the limit, the standard became 11 -5
