Very nice. What sort of wheels are they?

Must get my rear windows tinted

ElegantSpoon · 07-26-2010, 11:18 AM

Thanx! They are 18x8 front 18x9 rear CSL style wheels

I've got the fronts tinted as well and the level of tint looks different from every angle.

T33KKS · 07-26-2010, 12:54 PM

isnt it illigal to have the front tinted at all?

Em135eye · 07-26-2010, 01:09 PM

Wheels look ace. Not big on tints but it still looks decent.

buckethead · 07-26-2010, 01:14 PM

looking good

ElegantSpoon · 07-26-2010, 01:19 PM

You can have a slight tint but mines probably more than that.

I'm happy with the results and its lovely to get rid of the RFTs!!

Your car looks sweet! Have you lowered yours at all? I have a similar 320d in Carbon Black, with 18" wheels on it, but the space between the wheel and wing arch is quite big, whereas yours seems to sit much more nicely.

You can have up to a 30% tint on the front windows, which is really not very much - it's what any cars with tinted glass will come from the factory with.

However, if you have heavily tinted rear windows, some people can get away with having maybe a 50% tint on the front, because the difference is still quite obvious.

In practice, as long as the eagle-eyed TrafPol can see into the car, I don't think you'd ever get any hassle.

ElegantSpoon · 07-26-2010, 02:39 PM

It has M Sport suspension so should be the same as yours? I'm really happy with the gap they fit just right IMO.

ElegantSpoon · 07-26-2010, 02:39 PM

I've got 50% front and 20% rear I think. Something like that.

Lovely looking E90!

Butch · 07-26-2010, 04:47 PM

Nice photos and sweet motor Spoony, nice to finally see some pics

I will not give in to temptation - my chrome is staying.... But your black theme is looking good

ghosty · 07-27-2010, 01:32 AM

ElegantSpoon · 07-27-2010, 04:55 AM

Thanx for the replies

It was worth a try Butch! Are you getting the performance lips sprayed?

I'm away for a couple of days but when I get back I will post up some more wheel pics ghosty.

Butch · 07-27-2010, 09:07 AM
