My M30B35 swapped 88 on 16x8 Rota Slipstreams

[myownmechanic]

Here's what they started out as: Voxx MG 16x7 et20. Peeling, scratched, meh.



Now:



Sanded, primed, painted white with new 205/45/16 rubber. Suspension is H&R sports with oem rubber spacers still in. Bilstein Sport shocks. Nice stance and still very, very worry free when driving the car like its meant to be. In these pics its parked on a slight incline.

May add 15mm spacers rear and 10mm in the front down the road. Also finishing up some custom BMW centers for these wheels.

16x8 final offset +3 and 0. Tires are 215/45.

I've never been attracted to those wheels but those look good refinished like that. Can't wait to see it with the centers in.

Honestly, me neither. The wheels came with the car but had shot tires. When I weighed the cost of new 14" oem rubber vs. stepping into a 16", it made sense to get creative and experiment.

Glad I did, they look like a completely different wheel and they're growing on me. I think the BMW centers will set them off.

Looks great! What is your suspension setup (adapters or 5 lug) and what tire size?
