    New wheels & more!!

    Ok, I've had her for 2 weeks and I love her!!!

    Two weeks ago when I picked her up:


    Yesterday:




    I polished them myself


    I've swapped the front bumper, rear will go on this weekend, Euro grill, blacked out Kidneys, oh and some 15x8 BBS RS wheels. The tires are a little big but they came with the wheels for a killer deal, so I'll live with them for now.

    I'm waiting to drop it until I get new tires, and I'm waiting to get new tires cause I'm going to put some 2in. Schmidt lips on the Front and 2.5in lips on the rear.

    I fitted some 2.5in lips already and I think it's going to look dope!!





    and here's a 3.5in lip. But it definitely won't work.

              Thanks everyone, I definitely love the way it's turning out.

              Well, the wheels came with 1.5" Image Lips(German I belive). But I really like the more aggresive angles of Scmidt lips (www.rkimporting.com). Schmidt lips are defintely German and they are way better and stronger than Kodiak, or Image IMO.

              I can't decide if I want to paint the centers black or stay with the gold.

              These are Traffic Zombie's wheels, from VWVortex:


              They have 2" Schmidt lips and black centers. I really think I'm going to go this route once I get my new lips. And those are the size tires I want as well.

                  Glad you finally found an e30 Art, looks like you are quickly turing it into a nice car. Looks like a cleaner base to start with.

                      the lips and centers?

                        Keep the centers gold. Don't hide such a beautiful wheel with black paint.


                        Keep it slideways!!
