    Time for a new look

    What up R3V. I haven't posted anything in a while, but I thought I would give a little update. My old tires were totally shot, so I took the opportunity to slap on a set of style 10s that I was planning on refinishing, with some fresh rubber. Tires are 225/50/15, wheels are 15x7 et24.

          Thanks man, drop hats are definately on the radar. Just low on funds.

          Ya, it's got a pretty meaty look now. I wanted as much tire as possible! I think this summer I'm gonna paint the centers white and repolish the lips.

          I haven't had much time lately for the forums. Just bought my first house, remodeled it, along with school, work, wife, etc. It's good to do at least a little work on the ol E30. And yes, still got the recaros! I snuck that purchase in just before I got married because I knew she would never let me spend that much!

            That looks pretty damned good, but I'd recommend a color matched "is" lip and color matching the side skirts also. The Style 10's look good with those tires--don't let the haters get to you.

              I was going for a different look. It seems like every alpine car on here has color-matched is skirts + color-matched is lip. I may get an is lip in the future, but it will probably stay black. High on my list is to respray the valence.

              Oh, and I love the way the tires look. haterz gonna hate

                      Yessir, they are commonly referred to as is skirts on this forum. They came factory on european SE or sport models.

                        Care to elaborate on these so called recaros? Pics *cough*...and btw, I absolutely love keep the IS skirts black to match the front black lip and rear black bottom. Get an IS and keep it black.

                            Why does instant sexy always equal instant broke? If i went with that, I would have to get the whole kit, and that's mucho $$
