The IOWA thread

roybfr · 10-08-2009, 01:29 PM

Just pulled the trigger on winter wheels and tires for the 335i. Picked up some 18x7.5 Breyton Race GTS in Black (on sale at Tire Rack) and a set of Blizzak WS60's. Probably will need some spacers for the rears so they don't looked tucked but will wait till I get the wheels to see how much of a spacer is needed.

Still need to get my windows tinted and change the front grill pieces to black.... then maybe stage 2

Nice! I love those wheels.

Prez, thanx for sharing those pics, sounds like you guys did great.

WERND · 10-09-2009, 08:24 AM

Stage 2, HA! You wouldn't.......

BTW, not a big fan of those wheels. I just don't think they look very good on a 335

roybfr · 10-09-2009, 10:25 AM

I know your not that is why I bought them

nor are you fan of black wheels, as I pushed the button to order the was like "FU Brian". I looked on here @ pics of the R-GTS and liked them, plus they looked better then the other cheap options from tirerack. I looked at just getting tires like we talked about, but even with a discount at Firestone it was $200 more just to get new wheels with smaller tires from tire rack, mostly because the rears are twice as much and I would have to get LM60's as they quit making WS60's in 255. Will probably still get some CSL style wheels next year but I still like the stock 18's, they would look good painted black.

I would just not now, rather do cosmetic things first plus I need to read up on what is good, what is bad and what will make things go boom performance wise. Getting windows tinted today. Probably pull the trigger on the grill pieces in a few weeks. Trying to find reflector covers in crimson red for the E90 has been a no go thus far, can only find them for the E92, have all the other E90 colors just not CR. Also looking at a trunk spoiler and the roof line spoiler down the road..... CF hood and trunk... mirrors... front spoiler.... rear diffuser... it's only $ right. Would also like to replace the under seat subs with some SW8's, not quite ready to rip into the interior yet.

I have to say most of the parts are less pricey then crap for the Subaru, which is nice.

WERND · 10-09-2009, 02:38 PM

I saw no mention of a widebody kit, perhaps an oversight? LOL

roybfr · 10-09-2009, 03:15 PM

Cant let all my plans out of the bag yet. Got car back from tinter's.... looking good Dr Jones.

blacksheep · 10-11-2009, 10:23 AM

Ricers need to stick with their subarus.

PS - Anyone got a STi wing for trade for my VF39?

LOL is that STILL going on over there?

blacksheep · 10-11-2009, 08:39 PM

No, I havent checked since the thread got deleted...But, I figured I'd bring some of that here to liven this place up ....

WERND · 10-12-2009, 04:33 PM

The Iowa thread got deleted? How do they communicate, smoke signals generated from engine failures? LOL

roybfr · 10-12-2009, 07:02 PM

Yeah the old thread was deleted, I have my theories.

There is a new one, yes is has been full of posts of "I have this for sale". The worst part is two kids posted something like 3 posts in a row with crap for sale. Seriously put it all in one post, internet noobs.

Winter wheels and tires arrived today... they gave me bright silver wheel bolts... seriously WTF. Hope the stock ones fit, they are black and would look better. I almost want it to snow to test these tires out.

blacksheep · 10-12-2009, 09:04 PM

Do they make a M3 wagon overseas? This thing is hawt!

WERND · 10-12-2009, 09:06 PM

That is SOOOOOOO shopped

roybfr · 10-12-2009, 10:04 PM

They have a 335i wagon over seas but not here.... if they did I would have gotten one over the Sedan. Wagons FTW.

BMWtiiim3 · 10-14-2009, 01:55 PM

I used to have a plx wide band in my first WRX, they make some nice stuff. The wifi part is pretty trick though.
