Now...that black vert is one fine lookin e30!!!

It looks good do you boooobooo

[E30_fiend]

lol.. Check it out e30 feind, your in socal, so I'm sure I'll see you at a meet or gathering sometime soon, and you can tell me all about how you hate the "fitment" in person. And did you talk to the owner of the Calypso at Avila and tell him how much you hated his wheels? lol Just curious!

I'm sure I will see you at some point. I will guaranteed you that I will feel the same way. but like I said, its your car. If you want mexi poke and stink bug stance, have at it. It's just not executed well IMO.

And as for the calypso car at Avila, I had no idea who the owner was. I still don't know what he looks like.

I'm a huge stickler with big wheels on e30s. Because 17s are bigger, they should be balance with the "correct" tire size and ride height combo. In short, theres no reason an e30 with 16s should be any lower than an e30 with 17s. You just have to play with height abd camber to make it all work "correctly".

The words in quotes are the way they atr because that's just my opinion on how it should look. The calypso does nothing for me. It's simply not low enough to run 17s.

This is all meant to be taken lightly. Obviously my point of view is just one so don't read too much into it or grt angry.

Thanks for all the comments and criticism! Just changed out all the door cards to black, carpet and seats up next. Stoked on the new color., the Nardi wheel really pops with the black interior.

That stretch is fucking retarded. I'm not even going to be nice about it. It's your car, do what you want, but that looks plain awful in the rear and those tires just don't look good stretched. Get something with a lip protector so we can't see the actual bead seat in plain view.

My god no. To both.

Clean paint on the 4door but once again, rear wheel fitment is absolute garbage. This is one of those instances where you don't say "just make it work" for a tire and wheel combo. If you have to sacrifice ride height I'm order to clear your STRETCHED TIRE, you're doing it wrong. The idea is to stretch the tire in order to clear the arch and have the tire tuck up into the wheel well. This does neither of those things. Too high and too poked. If it were slammed in the rear, then that might make sense. It looks to me like you bought some tires, threw them on and said "i guess that works". I realize you said you like it that way but its just not working.

And the calypso, all its got going for it is clean paint. I don't like e39 style 5s and I especially don't like dark wheels on a dark car. IMO, it would look much better with at the very least, a polished lip.

These are your cars, do with them what you please obviously. But don't get pissy when people dont like what they see.

Why so mad you two?

Sounds like you care a lot for a car that isn't yours. Just do your fingers a favor and don't bother typing an essay about how you dislike either car.

My fingers are fine. This is a forum. Criticizing comments will come in all shapes, sizes and lengths. Im surprised you haven't figured that out yet.

Paragraphs or not, I wanted to get my point across. To each his own but Jesus...
