                  they look great!

                  one thing before you mount them, sand down the paint in the bolt holes, otherwise they won't hold a torque (it will also make a mess on your bolts if you don't). when you do put them on, make sure to recheck the torque after a week or so.

                    JESUS nick, those came out amazing! PLEASE post a before pic so everyone can see what you started with.

                    Also, pics when you finish the center caps and mount them for sure.

                    You should think about starting a side business - you could make a lot of money refinishing wheels for people, buying beat up wheels and refinishing to sell - something to think about.

                        If his turnover time was the same as it took to do these rims - I don't think he'd get a lot of business :)

                          I'd be willing to wait over the winter for a quality job - I dont drive my E30 over the winter ;)

                            i dont know if i'd even want to do it again.it probably cost me about 200 in supplies anyways. although i think the wheels on my dads x5 might look nice in all gold

                              I oredered some toyo t1r's and they came the other day but i havent gotten them mounted. I gunna wait to get an alignment after i put the z3 rack in to mount them.

                              i found a site where i can get any color bbs logos i want. Im leaning towars red with gold lettering but black with silver is another possiblility

                              what do you guys think would look good?
