Gonna get her cleaned up this weekend and try to take some more. Thanks for the kind words.

On a side note I was felling pretty good this morning in my 335, until a new black 599 pulled along the side of me in traffic. Ferrari's are pretty rare in N.O.
Although there is a red Enzo i've seen on a couple of occasions.

Naw, stock wheels have snow tires on them.

I'd get CSL wheels that everyone has. They only like $699 for 19s.

That's why I bought the reps. W/ runflats running so much and not being able to be repaired, I figured I'd buy a cheap set of wheels and tires, that way I won't explode if i or my wife curbs or bends one. I have a perfect set of stocks to put back on when I sell the car.

Yeah I feel ya jasel. I went back up to VA for a few days over my spring break, and god damn I don't miss those shitty road conditions. Good thing down here in FL there are no pot holes patched roads etc. BTW what wheel locks do you recommend for the bmw?

Dont think wheel locks are worth it. Never used them.

I have been driving around a 335Xi for the last two days. What a great car! I miss the precision and confidence of the 3 series. The car is pretty quick for an automatic!

I just picked up my 335i this week.

Since the weather turned crappy, it's garaged now until all the snow melts :o

I just checked on the 335 and it is already sold. The dealers raved about how cold it was and let me know it was owned by an entusiast in the real estate industry. I will check out the e46 next week.

I dont know what wheels to buy ....

Linea Corse Z2S

Linea Corse Lemans (LM reps)

Together
[IMG][/IMG]
Moven CF1 (i think they are the cheapest)
[IMG][/IMG]
Rays ITC. I don't think the ones i would get are as deep as these...this guy has fitment issues


my wife like the Z2S. I live them a lot i dunno if they would look good on a black car.
What do you guys think?

Yea that bumper is over $1k... i really want it but dont want to spend that much.

Quality wise, get the Rays ITC wheels! Otherwise Linea Corse Z2S.

I sold my Neez! New wheels will be on Tuesday.
