I've been running on some wack 15" bmw alloys for the last few months and got abit fed up with them so when on the hunt for some new winter wheels and this is what I found




BBS Style 5's with al center caps ET20 8j all round (8j all round was the only down side for me wanted 9s)
Get some strech rubber and wack them on.

Cheers guys & Rich

ignacio - I find the tyres really good and there not too pricy. My 205/40 & 215/40 give just a little bit of strech and fits under the arches nicly. With a rolled rear fender you get no tyre rub at all with this width and offset. You could go for the 10mm thinner set up to give you a tad more strech.

loving the work Sam.

[ignacio]

Do you have any close ups of the tires on the rims? Trying to figure out what to use on my 17x8/17x9 Style 32's. How do those ZE912's work for you?

[besthaticouldo]

that car is soooo clean. almost flawless....nice work.

[samsam]

Car hasn't been washed in about 2 month but doen a few little new thing. Still more in store.

Thought I'd add a few inside shots as theres none up








Winter months update

Bedroom store of goody's



In the pile we have

My Throwing stars freshly polished up and ready to go back on when the bad weather is over

(ignore the red Borbet A I'm refurbing them for a mate)

Next I brought myself some Jom ABS plastic GT corner splitters, Never planed to run them full size and tbh wouldn't have been able to with the ride high. But the one thing I **** about the car is the side skirt sits so much lower than the bumper so something needed to be done.
Brought them as a tester (ended up getting them for free ) cut the down from 45mm to 32mm resion for doing that was added with the evo lip that makes the slpitter's up to 3" which is the same size as the Max Velocity RS lip spoiler (link below) which I really want but don't want to spash out $250 + shipping from the states to find it smashed to bits within a few days. So the test is to see how long the GT corner can last. I can put up with the odd scarp here and there, Just dont want to rip it off and drive over it to see hard earned money wasted.

Here's my cut down GT splitter. Also went over them with some 3000 grit as I wasn't a fan of the over shiney finish on them.



Also got made up a U.S sized rear plate 12"x6" just as a trail to see how it looks, as I'm loving there stong work over there



Next I wanted to step up my audio game but still be able to use the boot so needed to take up as little room and be easy to take out , sticking with JL got a amp that fitted in the spare wheel tray, made a legged platform & carpeted it. So I now have a hidden amp that can be easly remove for the use of the spare wheel.



Then in the post today got a 12" sub in a really nice square slot ported box. Speaker cable can be very easly taken out for removel of the sub to get a bike in ect, Just has these little spring loaded tabs that grip the speaker cable so push down and tug and its free



Next up I got hold of a OMP rep rally style wheel with some mega dish added with my snap off boss the wheel is nice and close.



Last of all is the 2 months un washed, morning icey and 15" mega ballon tyred winter look.




Only next plan I've got is maybe a m3 Front bumper mesh grill?

Thanks guys

Did you do all the arch work yourself?

Yeah, wire brush grinder, heat gun and a big hammer. Job done

Bandwidth exceeded! Help a brother out and fix it please!

Sorted it self out now

this has probably been answered before but do you have the turbine covers as well?

No I don't have a set of the turbine's would realyy like a set. Can't say I've ever seen them ran on the 9j ? But haven't ever seen a set for sale and dealers are mega £££££. Oh and they don't even have the inner fans for both sides.

This is one of the best E36 that i've ever seen, looks really sick! Nice job! And the wheels are just perfect.

Thanks man
