Please no flaming, i know my wheels are skinny... >__<'
BEFORE: The picture below, you can tell my 8.5" rear are too far in the wheel well... AFTER: 20mm spacers makes it look and feel different... ^__^ i like... I can't afford 9.5" or 10.5" rear wheels yet, that will come in time when i get a 335i next year. |

Looks nice. Spacers do make a difference. Put some nicer tips on the exhaust and you're set.

As far as i know, they're just some 3rd party make, i don't recall a 'brand' i bought them 2 years ago. I liked them at first, but they don't stand the test of time so i'm likely going to just get painted tail lights on my next model... |

I won't be transferring the tail lights to the next car though, i'm growing tired of these myself but i'm too lazy to switch my OEM lights back on... Quote:
Though, the rims i want are Werfen GT-03's if that clues you in on my taste of rims. (not a fan of fork-style rims like HRE's or BBS) |

interesting choices....
i would have kept it stock and instead put spacers and springs and if budget allowed, upgraded to sport factory wheels which can be had on the forum for probably about what you paid for those wheels. |

I cant stand wheels that have convex faces that try to exaggerate the lip on the wheel.. thats usually the first give away of cheap wheels( amongst things). If your a fan of the Werfen GT-03's why not pick up a used set of SSR GT3's..? They are pretty cheap used and if you sold your wheels and tails.. plus a little extra you could get the real deal SSR's. Just a thought. Car looks super clean though.

Here's 2 sets of GT3's for sale on M3forum.net, keep an eye on the boards over there as well as e46fanatics... they come up pretty often. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showt...hlight=SSR+GT3 This set is 475 dollars but needs refinishing and repair... even with the repair cost the wheels are pretty cheap, worth a look anyway. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showt...hlight=SSR+GT3

At first I gasped because of the wheels and tails; they jump out as not good enough for the car (offset, style, etc).
But, the pics with the drop and spacers make it look much better! Nice improvement. |
