impressed again.

[Randomofodication]

Builds like this are simply inspiring! Very few people can say they have put in as much work as you have on their own car. Looking forward to seeing it finished, keep up the awesome work!

[CubbyChowder]

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

Special delivery:




Something I should've bought in the first place. The Diamond Racings just didn't feel right, deep down I always knew I wanted a nice set of re-lipped RM's for the 2002. They are currently 15x8/15x8.5 with stainless steel Kodiak lips all around wrapped in new Toyo Proxes 195/45/15. I'll be re-lipping the 15x8" into either a 9" or 9.5" and putting the 8.5" up front. Might seem typical to some, I'm not trying to blaze new trails here, I'm just super pumped that I have these:






As for color, I have a vision in mind of what I want the refinished product to look like, however they are basically perfect as is so I might just run them like this for a while. That's all still up in the air, I have way too much other shit to do before I can even drive on these so I have time to think.

IDC, if they are "typical" the're gorgeous wheels and I'm so happy to see you switched wheels

[ryanjblajda]

0.0 i cannot wait to see these on the 2002. and who cares if everyone does them. its going to look SO CLASSY.

[NegativeCamber]

i dont say typical at all. bbs mesh is always a winning combination on any vintage bmw. glad you came to your senses. :P

[NorCalFocus]

You know why BBS meshies are done on classic BMW's so much? Because its awesome!

Super nice come up there. I like the white centers too.

[jackjamesw910i]

you're doing it perfectly, keep it forever

[Queef|Chief]

Love the wheels! This build gets better and better

[CubbyChowder]
