86' 528e The Experiment

The wheels seem a little on the big side as the car sits now.

I could see those wheels working a lot better if it had some sort of lower front bumper, sides, rear, and the car was a dark color.

Car is looking great color wise, I dig the matte black with the stock hood!

I was bored last night, took a couple pics.

Haha! Thanks, man. The exact kind I have on my car wouldn't fit on yours anyways because they only come in 13". But there are many companies that make "banana spoke" wheels. Watanabe, Panasport, and, dare I say it, Rota (RB's). You should be able to pick up a similar set cheap! It would certainly be a wonderful step in the right direct as they'd look bonkers on your car!

I will look some more, all the ones I found were four lug... I like them, they remind me of old vintage racing wheels. I know alot tuner cars have them though.

The oil pan is already about 3" from the ground. :/

Ahem anyway I think the wheels don't look bad, it's a bold choice and it definately would require a good stance to work...and I mean a really good stance..haha..the car would look awesome if it was lower and the wheels were pushed out..or if it was just straight up sunk..

I wanted wheels kn your civic but they don't make them in 5 lug...

Looks good. There's a guy here in town that plastidips cars all sorts of colors.

I would have painted the Chrome as well. That's actually what I'm going to do to my white 535i

I thought the chrome helped the wheels. But I may change my mind. It not gonna go lower cus the car will get driven by my 16 year old daughter. The oil pan is already about 3" from the ground. :/

Not a bad start. This needs to be heaps lower though. I'm also not feeling the wheels.

[AMGwheelwhore]

[Rob&co]

Yes because these are so different style wise...

that's not my fucking e30?!?! LOL

Our wheels are clearly not same/similar!

[rab71]

So I found this website https://www.dipyourcar.com/ and was like dang I can do that!

So her ya go. Cheap paint job aand it works quite well. I'm not done yet but here is the start. I have vintage gold paint coming yet for the hood and trunk.








I'm not happy with the roof... The wind picked up and it was really a bitch...





IF it doesnt rain tonight I will finish the front. Can't wait for the gold. Hope the hood looks better than the roof...

[rab71]

Like!

Well that's one person.
