Those are the 18's from the 335i sport package, they do look good though!

His car actually has very few options (no sunroof!), I think it's kind of neat; barebones driving machine.

tirana · 12-20-2006, 10:17 PM

Oh, they're 189's not 230's. They do look very nice. Usually the sports pack for the 328 comes with 18" style 197. Threw me totally. Nice detailing too!

picus · 12-22-2006, 05:30 PM

Here are some 230's on e90post member Jackson's car; which got prep'd today!

Picus, please tell me more about summer rims/tires prep for winter. After I wash summer rim/tire with water and car wash soap what product should I use to seal/protect/condition?
Please let me know step by step because I am total newbe.

THANKS

I use poorboys wheel sealant on all the wheels I do; three times a year (like March, July, Nov); it's easy to use and you can find it online at most detailing stores.

I do the same thing when washing, soap and water.

picus · 12-23-2006, 04:15 PM

My car, same prep I give everyone else!

Do you use any wheel cleaner or just car wash soup and water? I did not get it, do you seal your wheels after every car wash or only 3 times a year?

christyles · 12-23-2006, 08:39 PM

Kevin... that looks hot... I'm not a huge E92 fan... but some reason that's quite appealing to me.

Lotsa potential for gettin tricked out. Let me know if you need parts.

3 times a year. I use soap and water only on well-maintained wheels when cleaning. I only use cleaners when I need to, and acid only very rarely. So wash them normally (which is made easier by the sealant), and re-seal 3x a year.

Thanks, you got it!

I am just doing winter tires/sidemarker replacement/tint and clear bra until spring, then I am sure I will be modding the snot out of it.

Ian...roadtrip!

Hey Kevin

Sorry for the delayed response. I left for a vacation to Asia they day after you posted your message and just got back last weekend and has some problems with my password and finally got signed back in today. To answer your question...yes the damage was repaired where my trunk got keyed back in the fall. Thanks for the advice...I went to a few shops and some of them scared me by how they we're talking about how they were gonna do the repair. Anyhow I went to the shop my dealer deals with and I think they did a great job. You can be the judge when you see it when I take my car to you to be detailed in the spring. Also left it debadged and I like it better that way.

Glad it turned out ok. I bet the debadge looks good with your blacklines.
