Here are the installed wheels. My first impression is that they're almost a little too aggressive on fitment for my taste (especially the rear), but I'll get used to it. I also think the rear needs at least one size wider tire, but these tires have lots of tread left so I figured I'd run them for a while. I love the style of the wheel though.

Car looks great and the the pics are excellent! Great job! I think the fitment is spot on but if you want to tuck in the rears a little more you might be able to dial in some more camber. Little stretch on the tires but nothing terrible. Great job!

I agree with you...that rear just looks a little too aggressive for me. Which is disappointing because other than that the wheels look stunning on the car!!! How bout a picture from a little further behind on the rear?

Looks great. What are the wheel specs?

The sizes are 18x8.5 ET35 on front and 18x9.5 ET45 on the rear.

Here are a couple more from different angles. I think once I get my alignment and eventually some wider tires on back, it will be good.

I think it looks amazing!

Thanks! I looked at your car as well when deciding on which springs to get.

benneyb · 10-26-2014, 12:45 AM

Would like to hear your thoughts on any change in body roll characteristics with the new springs. Nice job, car looks great!

Nice. Have you checked out any of the local groups? I've went to a couple recent events with the Downtown Charlotte Euro Car Club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/DowntownCarMeet/). They're about 75% BMW's.

horsepower_and_hounds · 10-26-2014, 06:33 PM

Not as of yet.....Been working so much I have not even been able to drive it much yet. Plan on it in the future

escobar929 · 10-26-2014, 07:58 PM

BLK235iNJ · 10-30-2014, 09:29 PM
