New Wheels/Spacers and "Pet" (HD Pic Heavy)

koches · 06-10-2014, 06:13 PM

Well I caddied my ass off at the CC, made enough money to buy a new set of wheels for the bim. Had some extra so I splurged on some rear spacers. Picked up the car this morning before school (yes, I am in high school) and parked right out front for everyone to see haha. Feels so good!

Tires: Michellin Pilot Sport A/S 3 225/45/17 (4)
Wheels: 17 x 8.5 Apex Arc 8 (4)
Spacer: 20 mm BMS rear only

nice!!! Since you went with 17's I think you should def. lower it 2 inches or so! Then it'll flow just right!! Nice car though!

looks great but confused why you ordered wheels that needed 20mm spacers and are 17s with 225s. should have gone 245!

He's in high school and probably doesn't have flow of cash so he reused his tires.

Bingo! I caddy at the country club and work for a catering company so I cannot compete with guys with an annual salary! 245 is my next tire upgrade!

True. Nevertheless it looks great and those wheels are always a great choice!

Dylanize · 06-11-2014, 08:12 AM

Good wheels, really need a drop to set it off.

Sidewinderpb · 06-11-2014, 08:35 AM

Props! I had a 2009 e92 328xi in high school.
Then some kid copied me and got the exact same car in the same color...

bimmette · 06-11-2014, 08:37 AM

Good job working hard to buy your own parts! Nice pics!

Congrats

AYEDEE · 06-11-2014, 10:12 AM

Wow they look way to small lol glad you like them but usually when you go buy freshies should make the most of the chance by getting a fatter size. But don't get me wrong this is still a good step up from original.

I know, but I am also on XI suspension, and I share the car with one of my sisters so I am afraid she would scrape the hell out of it with a drop. Getting m3 front/rear bumpers next so suspension will have to wait!

kdbryce · 06-11-2014, 12:22 PM

17s just seem like a waste of money to me...

but i guess they look better than stock

ARosee90 · 06-12-2014, 02:37 AM

They look a bit small but better than stock! I'm looking to get wheels soon, so I'll try and go with 18s!

sbce90 · 06-12-2014, 04:22 AM

Looks good, but could defs use a drop to go with it in time.
