Agreed. Not only that, they have the best looking standard OEM wheels with the perfect factory offset relative to other brand ..

Wow, those are gorgeous.
I still dig the M parallel and would be the first thing I would buy if I bought an older BMW.
Those look fun to clean...if I might make a suggestion, opticoat or at least wax them hos before they go on.

I think that is for most of the German cars, not just BMW.... of course they could be more flush but they are not Hella Sunk like Japanese ones.

I dont really understand why.

The question now to Herr ttribe is does his vehicle FEEL faster with the new shoes?



Or is it still slower than a garden snail going backwards...?

Agreed Germans do it the best. The BMW has great negative camber on the rear as well.

Well, given how slow your car is, there's really no danger IF you slapped the nice new shoes on before your trip.







Have a safe and enjoyable drive sir.

There's no way Tim beats that car the way it should be beaten going around corners and such.
Hang that ass out! (the car's ass, oversteer a bit, that's what I meant...don't want you to end up on a sex offenders list).
