So earlier this year i still had my vette wheels. i made my custom bare metal hood with copper patina'd graphics and everything was gravy.

Then i got bored with it.

bought some 18" e46 m3 wheels. threw on a set of 215/35/18's and did a test fit.

it was going to work. 18x8 in the front 18x9.5 in the rear.

i fitted them with rear camber shims (no pics of the progress) and tried to go to a event.

This happened

The toe was off so bad it caused the bead to loosen on one of the rear tires. On the freeway going 60. i spun around 3 times and hit the guard rail. luckily the damage wasn't that bad and i fixed everything up.

fast forward to 2 weeks later.

I fixed the damage. fitted the wheels. (still needs a alignment) fixed the curb rash and painted the wheels.

I saw this this past weekend at Stay Awesome, looks hella good man! I really like it and the BMW wheels are unique as fuck!

PS I was one of the guys at the NOS tent.

awesome thanks for coming out.

[JVC]

Yeah, not a problem for us. Gas is paid for! and if it wasnt, my Volvo would have been there in all of its sunken wheel glory... haha

[Team_Gileto]

you've got a sweet gig.

These wheels look right at home

[MadMax]

I love the Gold Wheels

[Jorge]

Its awesome, and one of the best applications of those wheels I've seen... but they are still shit wheels, I'd love to see it with the newer E46 M3 wheels, except they're 19s.

[vdubkid]

yeah maybe it's because i've never liked the 18" m3 wheels, but i don't like it now haha. much preferred the sawblades

[marcAB10]

looks awesome on the gold.

[Joshbm]

[J-Man21]

personally I thought the vette wheels were better, but both setups are money and super original

good to see wisconsin doing things in the stance scene

[darksideracer69]

[rowdydaoudy]
