Maybe I'm just getting old but these crazy deep dish wheels don't do anything for me. I see these ultra-high performance cars and they're just being held back by the massive amounts of metal they have to sling.

I guess when I buy an F430 I won't be knocking on Hamann's door.

I know it must be me because there are a million cars running these huge lips. I don't mind an inch or two but the cars that are running 4-6" lips just look weird IMO.

I guess I just find beauty in functionality.

Body kits with holes that serve no purpose fall into the same group for me.

Well, I'm with you too Dan. But then, I know I'm old. I remember when I was the first kid in my are to have a tuned exhaust. Ppl were like, "What's wrong with your muffler?" I just laughed it off.

A buddy of mine has a saying, "there is only one good use for big lips." Think about it.

I think they are now starting to mod other highend cars too. I remember see their first non-BMW was a F360.

Who let you in my garage?!?!?! lol j/k


OMG I want that F430 with the spoked (not 5-star) rims. What's up with the Lambo with the pinstripes, I've seen that before. Dunno if it's the same car or dealer option. Pretty tacky IMO...

Isn't a M5 just a 5 series Bmer with an M kit on it?

HAMANN probably strips all the M crap off and throws it in the trash, then they hook it up!
