I was not able to....I had a 7" screen for that....

I might get one of those rear view camera's that have a monitor built into them

 

Sorry I haven't posted pictures....I got the flu on Monday. I haven't left the house for 3 days. I'll try to post here later tonight.

 

Here's the pics!

 

Anil, should we ban Steve for not getting pics of Matt's M3?


Edit: I guess this will have to do, you can see a headlight and some handsome fella behind it in a white hat

 

Thanks for the picture of my car Steve!

 

lets ban Steven....he posts pic of a civic but leaves a sexy M3 out of the pix....other people are gonna think KC is all -d up !!!

 

He didn't even get a pic of my car or Annamarie's car

 

Look at the front of that M3-it's all chewed up.

And we already have a bunch of pics of Matt's and Annamarie's cars.....

 

That's not an m3, Steve. The M3 is the white one next to the blue 335i.

 

Only 3

 

Steven, hand me the camera as you exit to your left

 

Matt, they (BMW) all suck anyway.....

 

^^^ Steven...step away from the keyboard please

 

They do, they do!

 

So I been searching for wheels for a year now and well I can't seem to find anything that isn't totally super low offset or 20's. so does anybody have any ideas on a set of wheels that look good on our cars? I have searched and searched and seen 1000's of pictures and yes I find wheels I like but really can't justify spending 2-4k on a set of wheels for my car. So basically looking for what will fit over these brembos and that aren't totally ugly or super low set.

Cliff notes: i hate wheel shopping and brembos are a pain.

 

with the brembo's you will have to be around the 25-30 offset (depending on the wheels)....if they concave, you will have to either go higher or lower....

depending on your budget, you can get XXR 527/530/535...wheels will run you ~600 bucks (for the set)

or look into some Enkei's/TSW/Rota/etc and you should be able to get a set less than $1000....

then come to premium category, Advans/Wedssports/Volk, and you can get them used for ~1300-2200 or new from 1800-5000 again depending on the wheels....

If tight on cash, I would suggest XXR/Rotas/etc....the set with tires will run you ~1300-ish...

 

You can buy my wheels so I can buy a new set


Mine clear the brembos just fine and they are a +40 offset or something like that.

 

I actually like Matt's wheels, similar design to mine. I have been contemplating new wheels as well, and and I will agree with you that wheel shopping is a royal PITA. You'll find something eventually though.

 

What would be your price?

I keep contemplating on ordering some xxr 527s. But I just keep buying performance parts haha it is ruining my wheel budget.

 

^^^ well Matt's wheels are kinda lightweight so it will help with the performance

 

Price would be around 1100 for everything (wheels/tires/tpms) when I do sell. Will probably be around the first of next year if I can wait that long.

 

They call me kamikazee!

 

I'm about to give up on performance haha I have spent WAY to much and am sorta debating to give up and go for the looks. I have no idea what I want to do with the car now stuck on deciding what route to go

 

I'm kind of giving up on my car. After going to all these car meets/cruises and seeing all these fast/nice cars, I want something different. Maybe getting some new wheels and some power adders it will make me like my car again. I didn't even drive it this weekend

 

^^^

nothing is gonna make you get that feeling back....in that case I wouldnt put more $$$ into the car and just look for a different car

 

I love the car just bored with the looks haha stock type s wheels get old and no a-spec is it has plenty of get up and go basically have bought everything you can for these things performance wise. I see swoosh's car and it keeps me motivated to get the car to the look I want!

I do have my eye on an infiniti m45 sport

 

come here you

 

So who knows how to take the brembo's apart and paint them?! I'm a noob at painting stuff like that

 

just over the weekend painted Steven Bell's brembo's....used the G2 caliper kit....that thing is awesome....heard from Matt that it works better and lasts longer than any rattle can paint....

 

I will have to look into that then.

 

Yeah look into them....its very easy....no need to take the caliper out, no need to re-bleed your brakes....and from what I hear they last very long....

I did recently sand and paint the wifey's brake calipers as well....the paint might avoid the stupid rusting....

 

Once I order some wheels I will have to redo them!

 

I like the 527's...i've seen the chromium black in person it's pretty nice. I contemplated a set myself.

Your car is so clean though Matt :/

Knew you were gay...

 

Clean doesnt equate to fast though

 

Anil is correct, the G2 kit looks great. Plus, I lost one of the rear brembo covers from the rear calipers.

So I reordered a set of the Brembo covers. I was disappointed because when I went back to order from the original place I get the first set of covers, all I could find was the 4 pack set. I went ahead and ordered that set of 4. It came in and 2 covers were larger than the 2nd set (for the rears).

We wound up using the larger Brembo covers on the rear calipers. They look MUCH better and now look like all 4 Brembo's (the real ones and the covers) are the same size. It looks more like a Porsche setup, which obviously has 4 real Brembo's.

 

^^^ what about a Lambo setup?

 

he doesnt like Lambo's anymore.....he likes Porsche's and Corvettes....talk about an upgrade

 

It's not that I don't like Lamborghini. It's just the maintenance makes it less possible to get. They'll always be my favorite.....

 

Anybody want to trade there stock type s exhaust for my xlr8 full cat-back?

 

If its quad tips, Matt might be interested
