    Update:

    Going to buy Federal 595's or 595RSR's (haven't decided yet) in 235/40/18. The routes that I take to work aren't the smoothest, so I'm worried that a 225/40 might not protect the wheels as much due to the stretch.

    Also bought some CF Interior Fabric Wrap that will hopefully be here before the weekend so I can install it.

    Next on the list (aside from actually purchasing the tires) is to buy a fender roller or find someone within a thirty minute drive to roll them for me.

    Been awhile since I've been on here, but a quick update.

    The wheels have been returned to the stock ones after finding the black ones above were bent to hell and back. Cut my losses and sold them off to someone with a deeper pocket.

    Left the country on business for a good portion of 2014, but now that I'm back (and decided to keep the car), I figure I'll get started again. I have a set of Forgestar F14 SDC in 18x9.5 et21 (below) in the making and should be here next month or May.


    Havent decided on the rubber yet, thinking 225/40s Squared or 245/35 Squared if I can fit it in the front. I'm going to have to buy a fender roller most likely to get the front to fit, and raise the car up probably about an inch.

    Need a better photo. Fenders smoothed out and rolled just a tad (shop wouldn't do anymore than that since they don't have the tools) sitting on 19s. They put the wing on too, can't really see it from here. Gonna paint it body color. Probably gloss plastidip until I can afford actual paint.

    Finally got the new wheels on it. Installed a CF CSL style wing tomorrow.

    Gonna lift the suspension about quarter of an inch so I can put the spacers back on the rear, then get the fenders rolled later.

    Next is plastidipping the wheels to cover up the curbage I put on them accidentally (long story).

    I think I mcfucked up.

    I put 245/45/18s on the wheels an now it looks beefy as shit, Im not sure how it'll actually look on the car but I'm definitely going to have to raise it up.

    So now I'm debating selling the wheels+tires.

    FUCK.

    New set of wheels and tires in the works. If all goes into plan I should have them pretty soon.

    After that gets taken care of, I'm gonna look into getting an MTech swap all the way around.

    Blehhhhh money.

    Anyone have any connections with anyone in South Central New Jersey who can roll fenders?

    Don't say they won't fit either.

    "save your money up for some nice three piece wheels, you'll be kicking yourself if you go the cheap route...trust me*
    get a m-sport front on there asap, rear too if you've got the cash. It'll completely transform the car."

    I agree the cheapest way isn't always the cheapest, and the bumpers will deff transform your car.

    16x10's would look funny, unless you're going for a beefy look! But I still think it's too small for the E90,
    Goodluck on repairing the front bumper.

    Grtzz

    Yeah, I'm waiting for it to warm up before I deal with that. I'm probably not gonna go for much stretch. I'm debating if I'm even going to use them or if I'm going to sell them and use the money to make sure everything gets taken care of.

    Hit a deer about a week ago. Car is in the shop right now, and I was quoted $2500 to fix everything (as of right now). Luckily insurance is paying for it, I just have to pay the deductible. Shop is hooking me up and painting my side reflectors body color since they have to paint the new bumper anyway.

    Would have liked to upgrade the bumper, but I can't complain since insurance is dealing with it.
