    Does it HAVE to be bottlecaps?
    Pink Borbets would rock!

    You need a new agent. Driving a BMW with Pink wheels is going to do nothing but help your gay porn career.

    On an unrelated note, I'd say I love all basketweaves, except the ones on early E36 Sport Package. Those look horrible!

    Deagle,

    somedays it seems you may actually know a thing or two about cars but from your latest posts I'm guessing your not too well versed in Aristotles poetics. Here's a quick lesson. The basis of drama is conflict. Through out the ages people have sought out good stories as a form of entertainment and enlightenment. Therefore people seek out conflict and the resolution of conflict.

    In creating this conflict it is important to realize the audience you are telling the story to, here at R3V your audience is gear heads that like to read and see pictures of wrenching.

    Story one.

    A man with an orange M3 paints bottle cap's pink, jacks up car and installs 5 lug bottle caps, lowers car and drives off.

    Story two

    A man with a orange M3 paints bottle cap's pink, puts car on jackstands and struggles to do the first R3V documented 5 lug to 4 lug swap, he spends multiple hours trying to get it to work...Can he pull it off???

    Everyone has their preferences, but I'm guessing in the end the four lug swap would win the story contest, It's not about convenience, it's about pulling your audience in.

    Is it just me or are there no MODS in this thread? Could this be too much for them to watch over.

    Have the official rules, guidelines, and participants been posted yet?


    I agreed all along with the pink/orange m3 with the 4lugged/small brake kit

    i was just saying that e28 caps are uglier

    Damn right I'm not. I am an avid supporter of the pink bottlecap movement.

    Edit: Ben, quit being a pansy. I'll paint them for you tomorrow!

    Yeah if anything, the overspray proves that you painted the wheels and it isn't a photoshopped picture!

    Kudos for doing this, I knew you wouldn't let us down!

    Dude, I totally did!! Well, kinda. I pulled the wheels out of my attic, cleaned the brake dust off them, then air dried them. Then, I actually cut a circle out of a piece of cardboard, and had the wheels sitting on the a piece of cardboard on my lawn. Yeah, i got some overspray, but not for lack of effort. whatever.. I don't care.

    ok I PMed Carufel yesterday and he hasn't responded. Should I take that as the odd behavior of an eccentric who is painting his wheels and making a 22 megapixel photoshoot while rolling in Oakland, or should I take that as the uncomfortable silence you hear when you're waiting for the other shoe to drop?

    It's weird, I don't think I've seen any mods post up in this thread. I think a lot of them are in the PNW and are getting ready for that BBQ this weekend.

    Yeah, I have most all the info in the first post in the thread. The only thing missing is the official list of CONFIRMED participants. Yes I have seen posts of people wanting to do this, but nobody has piped up to tell me they are DEFINITELY painting their wheels besides Mike325. MikeE30325i is going to roll w/ pink caps because he's gonna get like two bills to make a fool of himself on video.

    BDSax and ldsbeaker are getting $20 no matter what, because they entered the challenge before I changed the format to a contest.
