just another soon to be stanced e46 coupe...

So i picked up an e46 coupe not too long before winter and i didn't really have enough time to make it look like what i wanted it to look like so i decided to wait till spring to get things rolling...input and advice accepted

2001 e46 sports package coupe
Jet black
5 spd

I picked it up bone stock, one owner, all service done at the dealership along with all service history

I sold the sports package rims that were on it and picked up some winters

So here's the plan for this: get some rims and slam the sh*t out of it...

I've always wanted a pair of style 5s...so i picked up a beat up pair (17x8 all around) for a decent price, then i disassembled, stripped, sanded and painted them, i even painted every single bolt white.

Here's the result:

I always liked the black on black look but I realized that i actually got bored of it, so i sold the 17x8s and i found a staggered set (17x8/9) and got them REALLY cheap

Here they are:

I'm still doing some research on which tires i should run and those should be coming in over the next couple of weeks and everything will be put together by spring time

Perhaps white for a color?

Or rose gold, if you want to get flashy. (my personal fav)

white was my first choice, but imagine keeping those clean with the brake dust that comes off with these german cars lol, hmmm i've never even thought of rose gold, actually never even seen it on rims. I was thinking something like gun metal grey

Get akebono euro ceramic brake pads before you throw the style 5's on. No brake dust at all!
