Random question: do u think Gunmetal rims will looks good on a black car..?

^ Good starting place...

What I would do is post a new thread in the Tires, Wheels, & Suspension forum

Then you can gather opinions/feedback about your car, wheel styles or finishes.

And Lippstuh can keep his thread clean of a bunch of off-topic stuff.

Some people get mad when their threads get hijacked with all kinds of questions.

Just giving you a friendly heads up.

1. Got new coilovers from AMR, so F2 are for sale in BM
2. Work Meisters have a deposit on them. I'm still thinking of whether or not to let them go...
3. Starting to piece together missing S/C parts and doing some work to it. ETA probably September.
4. Gotta find new rims =[
5. just got 28.5mpg and i did nothing different rofl

Lol. I was getting ~31mpg on a road trip I took two weeks ago. I love this car for that.

I dont think you should get rid of the Meisters, they look great on your car.

What are the specs of the AMRs?

i forgot like 10k/8k? i might order some stiffer springs to replace them.
I don't want to, not sure if i want to track the CL, its still so large. might throw on some spacers and refinish the face to something else. sick of black.

^ where would you take your struts to get re-valved after the stiffer springs? Do you have to send it back to AMR?

yeah, since he's the one who made them it seems only right to bring it back to amr.

most of u know that i have a supercharger for awhile, should be in by end of october; haven't had time to even mod my car now . so i'm trying a new direction with my car instead of what i have been doing; slammed, big wheels, skinny tires, blah blah blah. looks great, drives like crap (sort of).

so this picture speaks for itself...



more performance oriented car which is what modding SHOULD be about. this is what i consider what was great about the OG days of this forum (that i wished to have been part of).

Hey, going the same route I will be!

I was thinking of running 255/35-18s though. Let me know if you rub with the 40 series.
