New wheels, finally (no 56k)

[Fred]

I finished the 5-lug swap on Friday. It's done for the most part, except that I don't have any parking brakes since the M3 uses a different size bolt for the shoes than the non-M's. Wheels are 17x8 Racing Dynamics RGQ with about +23mm offset all the way around.













Bad thing about it now is that I can't get it up my driveway anymore; the rear wheels tuck under too much because it's so steep. Oh well.

[Jand3rson]

Oh my dear lord... :shock: Absolutely incredible.

Fred, your car is easily one of the hottest looking E30's I've EVER seen.

And those pics just convinced me to get a Racing Dynamics rear apron.

Do you possibly have this one in hi-res? (1280 x 960 if possible?)

[golde30]

hot damn fred, im glad to see you didnt leave the e30 to collect dust while obsessing over yer se-R :roll: . the 5-lug swap looks seamless man, i cant wait to see it in person at the next meet. laterz

[Fred]

Thanks guys!

Josh, yeah, I actually have that pic in 1600x1200. I'll send it over to ya tonight.

Cary, yup, that was where I took em! I wanted to take the pics on the hill, but since I had no parking brakes I put it in reverse and turned the engine off. It kept creeping forward so slowly that I said forget it. You guys must've been crazy to think you can push it up that hill!

He lives in San Fransico, Charlie. Parking brakes are absolutey the most mandatory piece of equipment on a car in that city. :D

Man Fred, that's awesome.

When are you gonna tackle the rear? :)

[RCWells]

Fred, that car is amazing. Almost as much a transformation as Jordan's car has been. Those wheels are great. You do good work man.

[Digitalwave]

That is fucking amazing, I love those rims. Don't see them anywhere!

[M42Technik]

I love the old school California plate and what it says on it. Awesome.

You going to do the rear bumper someday? And my only gripe is the 325 badge should be a little more to the right, but thats it.
