I know

 

Dont feel bad J. You liked the rims, now you want change. No big deal.

Most people didnt care for that style of wheel. I didnt love them or hate them. They did look good on your car.

My wife doesnt like the wheels I have now!

The wheel choices you are comparing now, seems like everyone is on your side. lol

 

That's because u can never talk shit or go wrong with WORK or VOLK wheels... Even with my 3rd option of XXR's. People know they're cheap but damn do they look good on the TL's... lol!

 

Sorry, I'm late to the party, this was my UA6 back when I lived in Palm Beach. Dropped all the way on Tein Basics.

 

Looked great!

Josh, to be honest, I didn't get much love when I first bought my works...people hadn't really seen them before (or even now)...after time and good pictures, I seem to get a much more positive response to them now.

 

Few pics I took yesterday.

 

Those Equips are hard as hellz! There is a set of gloss black lips and satin face (recently completely redone) WORK EQUIP's on eBay I have thought about getting but they are a lil on the subtle side with 19x8.5 +41 on all 4. If they were a lil more aggressive I prolly would have pulled the trigger.

Here they are:

yea wait until you find a decent 19s!!!

 

sell him yours!

 

BINGO!

 

acurajj, I'm drooling over that exhaust you have there. Which ones are those?

 

ATLP Quads.

 

The wheels in that ebay link are 18's, not 19's, but yeah...the offsets are pretty weak.

 

NBP

 

^^^that baby needs some paint correction though, unless that sun glare is deceiving me!

 

^agreed.

 

I noticed that too, but didn't want to comment about it because it's still a sick UA6.

That's why I don't own black cars. Nothing looks better than a freshly buffed/polished black car, but the swirl marks and dirt are just too obvious.

Well, the Frozen (matte) BMW colors are pretty sick too.

 

I really need polish my car ASAP


For those who own NBPs, what do you guys use to wax/polish your car???

 

^polish i use m105/m205 and a PC7424XP with various cutting pads.

sealant i use BFWD.

wax i use m26.

 

^^^Yes sir...
use a polymer and see if your'e happy with it.
Zaino Z2 hides the swirls pretty well.

 

I'm still a rookie when it comes to polishing my car, but I got some Wizards Products that I saw Stacey David use on Gearz. I also recommend not wasting your time with a random orbit polisher, but be very careful with a standard polisher because it'll eat through your clear and paint in no time at all. ALWAYS keep it moving.

My car had really bad oxidation on the roof. So I needed an aggressive cutting pad and cutting compound followed by a polishing pad and polish then a finishing pad with sealant. Add all the pads, compounds, polish and sealant up and you're looking at at least $100-$200+.

It might be cheaper to just get it done by a professional .

I recommend if you do decide to diy, practice on an old beater like a friends car or something like that.

 

...make sure your friend knows he has a beater and that you're going to be "trying it out" on his car too.

professionals cost more than 200 for a proper correction.

 

Well, I can get the professionals that detail the cars at the Bimmer/Merc dealer my Sister works at. They said they'd do my car for $50 on a slow day. Gotta love have a sibling that works at a high end car dealer. It only cost me $34 for a 4 wheel alignment. Plus, everything BMW sells whether it's clothes or parts she gets for cost + 10%.

The best was when I got to rip the Valencia orange 1M they had on the lot. It was and is to this day the only non SMG manual they've ever had brand new.

 

...got friends in high places...love it.
For fifty bucks, don't even sweat it. I'd let them do it too!

 

I know, I totally regret buying all my buffing equipment, but yea 50 bucks is worth it in time saving alone.

 

those work equips that you've seen are on wheel flip as well..i was checking them out too but like you said it has weak ass offsets

here it is:

http://wheelflip.com/listing/449/rot...105-12-5x1143/

how about these..super "baller pricey wheels" but they are so nice...

 

My gawd they are mezmorizing gorgeous!!!

But that price quickly smacks me in the face and has me refocus on reality that I am a broke dreamer.

BTW...^^^ That link is actually a steal being that it includes tires and FREE SHIPPING!!!

Look here on ebay: FREE SHIPPING but no tires...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/19x9-5-F-19x...e50b22&vxp=mtr

 

i know those wheels are freakin gorgeous but then again the price is a :why me:..

 

LOL same wheels but more what is up with that!!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/19x9-5-F-19x...e50b22&vxp=mtr

the equips at wheel flip are SOLD

 

The only thing I'd spend $6200 for is a lifetime with K1x's avatar...both of them. And they can't talk. And they have to be good at making sammiches and road head.

 

LMAO But TRUE STORY!

 

Nice Guys....

 

My contribution. =)

 

Excellent!

 

Bwaahahaha LMFAO!!!

 

Back on topic, Pictures taken by Accuratein

 

^^^ what's your specs on the WORK 18s?

 

18x9.0 Rear staggered

Yokohama S Drive

225-40-18 front
235-40-18 rear

Swapping front tires to the rears and replacing with 215 series tires up front. Lots of tire cutting and rubbing because the slammage.

 

I has some of that same tire cutting on my 19s... I was wondering specs as far as offsets tho. The reason why I am asking is because I was looking at a set of CCW LM20's that same look. So I wanted to know your offsets to get a better perspective view in my head of stance and fitment. Thx!

btw ~ LOOKS SO CLASSY CLEAN!
