I'm sure almost any of us could tell by looking at it in person...

...or maybe Parker could run your VIN.

SLCGoonski · 11-17-2010, 11:41 PM

Blacklines...installed. Someone's car looks much better.

Park2670 · 11-18-2010, 10:21 AM

Morning.

Perhaps he thought it was shifty that you said morning at 1:26 PM.

I guess that explains the "settling" issue . . .

Thanks accendo! It is good to know we have enough enthusiasts in Utah to have a pretty good thread going here. There is a lot of info on this forum.

I normally have kept all my BMWs stock as well. The wheels are tempting me!

Anyone else that might have experience with Alufelgen or Forgestar?

Thanks!

It was morning in my world. VERY VERY busy morning for me at work. Plus I cant figure out how to use "///M" for the afternoon...

I know that Jeff had Forgestar on his 135, looked great and a good price too. If money is a factor the Alufelgens will be the best option, great wheel.

If I were you I would either stay away from the staggered setup, or do 235/35R19 and 275/30R19. That will be the most easy setup on your xDrive transfer case. Only problem with that is it adds more understeer to the car. But if you dont normally have problems, then go for it.

Park: can you tell me Jeff's username? I am interested in seeing what his thoughts are on his Forgestars.

I am a little torn because yes, the Forgestars are a better wheel--they are flowformed. But I like the look of the Alufelgen SF-71 better. Not sure if you have heard about the continued problems with order Alufelgens but it concerns me quite a bit! A lot of people are pretty upset!

The difference between the 235 and 275 are very close! It does look like the best set up for an xDrive.

Do you feel the roads around here are good enough (in the summer) to handle 19" wheels?

Thanks...

I think I have the sport package required for tichers blowout sale, but I might be wrong?

What would be a defining factor for a absolute answer?

Sport package...it's the seats. Larger bolsters on the sides and also a rocker switch on the front corner of the seat that tightens/relaxes the bolsters.

Other stuff can be changed...

Of course you could take it out on the freeway and see if you can hit 155mph.

Sodex101 · 11-18-2010, 11:08 PM

I have the bolsters, so sport package? I also have Dinan stage 2, so that doesn't really help unless I can set my cruise to 155 and that means sport package too?

SLCGoonski · 11-18-2010, 11:13 PM

Damn Parker...$55,500...

SLCGoonski · 11-18-2010, 11:13 PM

Damn Nate...that's a huge f'ing picture.

First shot at creating an HDR image... I need some practice

And a tripod.

Cody found one!

nsanbyker · 11-19-2010, 08:24 AM

Days off until the 29th. Sat and Sun this week. Wednesday thru Sunday next week. Parker works Sat Friday and Sat in this scenario. How many times can I go down to PG and test drive cars with Parker without:

A. Parker getting tired of me?

B. PG management banning me from the premises?

Ideas?

I know how to solve all of this. Take one home.

Then you can drive an M3 when ever you want to.
