    Hey, Thanks! I think the project is progressing nicely. Now that the IS sideskirts are on, and with the H&R Race Springs/Bilstein Sport suspension going on next week. I'd really like to line-up a nice set of 16" wheels & tires. The 14" basketweaves are starting to look a bit too small. Any suggestions?
    Filled and drilled E38 Style 5's are a fantastic option for a 16" wheel for your ride. Look into that.

      Best looking set up in my opinion is 16x8, et 20, 4x100, 57.1 center bore, direct fit. Personally I do not like the hustle and bustle of spacers, longer lugs, center rings. I have used all of those but it is some work to maintain the wheel set up using them. Not hating, just my choice. Tire size would be 225/45/16. The look is awesome.

        Really beautiful car, nice seeing your son work on it too. You're really teaching him attention to detail with this. I also highly recommend the e38 16x8 fill and drilled to 4x100 has that super nice oem+ look.

          Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely look into the 16" e38 style 5s

                        The current M42 runs great. Once we find a good donor for my E36 M3 project, we will be swapping the M42 with our low mileage S52!

                                As we transition from the sport set-up to the NASA spec, we upgraded to the H&R Race/Bilstein suspension!
                                We also went ahead and switched from the Pacific Wonderland to the Trailblazer license plates.
