My M235xi Melbourne Red with New Matte Black V718's!

midwest 340xi 6sp · 07-24-2015, 04:59 PM

The guys @ Imola Motorsports did a real nice detail for me today...Yes, those are some damn nice Porsches in the background.

Wanted to share my V718's from Mitch @ VMR too...

Pix are just some quick ones off the iPhone..I'll post-up some nice shots out in the sun soon.

Love the Matte Black on the Meloborne Red with black trim..

Wheel Specs:
V718 18x8.5 ET35
V718 18x9.5 ET45

Wanted to avoid poke and not get too crazy on the offset. These are mounted on Michelin PSS OEM sizes front and back..I believe 225 and 245's..

Considering a drop, we'll see.

Your car looks great with the black grill and wheels it really finishes the look.

can't really go wrong with black and red. now you just need some springs or coilovers

I'll rather go with 19" and a small drop.

I went 19's on my M3's. I felt 18's were fine for a car this size...

Still back/forth on drop..Its a lease vehicle and its absolutely going back at lease end, hence my pause.

I returned my leased 328i with H&R springs still installed. The springs were $400. I think I paid $150 to have them mounted. I figured another $150 to put the stock springs back on, then trying to sell used springs on ebay wasn't worth the hassle. Coil overs would have be a different story!

I say drop it with springs and enjoy!
