FINALLY, after 3 months wait.. my wheels arrived from halfway across the world

topcat87 · 03-16-2010, 10:39 AM

I present to you my E90 LCI

As temperatures on earth werent high enough to manufacture the wheel, it had to be sent to the nearest star to be made. Well, thats what i suspect caused the excruciating wait.

Mods:
3m car mat
RPI scoops
K&N drop in
Threw out the cheap looking silver trim for burl wood
Wheels
Porterfield R4-S pads
Rolled fenders

wheel specs:
8.5" 235/35/19
10" 275/30/19

oh, and it rained RIGHT after i had my car detailed... well, you cant fight murphy's law can you

SpmnE9zero · 03-16-2010, 10:40 AM

Stunning car...the contrast of the wheels and body color is gorgeous...very well done

JoeyBananaz18 · 03-16-2010, 10:57 AM

03-16-2010, 11:10 AM

Derek Zoolander · 03-16-2010, 11:52 AM

Wow, that's 10" et20 on a LCI? Desperately needs a drop! Love the color. Lose the watermark; no one is going to steal these pics.

JaysBlueE92 · 03-16-2010, 11:55 AM

wow very nice

02themax · 03-16-2010, 11:59 AM

Wow, looks great. A black grill and black chrome exhaust would compliment it nicely and yes a mild drop. Love the colour...

Rome · 03-16-2010, 11:59 AM

nice wheels worth the wait! i see you got the modified idrive package..

iBoost · 03-16-2010, 12:00 PM

those accent the car perfectly. i never thought i'd like that color, your car is an exception.

Ender514 · 03-16-2010, 12:10 PM

they look great man!

Hedges · 03-16-2010, 12:16 PM

Is it me or that I really like these wheels in silver over the V710's and the CSL styles out there?

Hedges · 03-16-2010, 12:23 PM

19 x 10 et 20 rears! Wow nice offsets! What was your front offsets?

lpphreakx06 · 03-16-2010, 12:33 PM

Those are money!

T89 · 03-16-2010, 12:38 PM

Looks good. That color is interesting. not sure if I like it or hate it just yet.

XPO186 · 03-16-2010, 12:45 PM

If you don't intend to drop it, I wonder if you can get away with 285 in the rear.

Btw, I waited nearly SIX MONTHS for my Volks. Ordered in mid May and received/mounted late Oct. Three months really isn't THAT long
