        Yes, I reinforced the rears.

        "Stand that bitch on it's nose" = lolz

        The brakes are still bedding-in (Pagid OEM rears and Hawk HPS fronts) but they already feel pretty good. I find that with the stock master cylinder I have more modulation with the pedal... I can use more pedal before hitting the really firm braking point; still debating over changing the MC to like the 7 series upgrade other people have been doing.

        We shall see about the wheel centering later, right now I am more than happy with it.

        My only real concern at this point is harder right turns give me a wierd, mild clunking underneath the rear somewhere. I will find what it is soon though.

        Thanks for the nice words all!

          Oh yea baby.
          Sorry for being a bum, I should have been more help.

          I want to feel what 80-0 feels like.

              Looks good, but i did this right after my conversion and it really stiffened up the pedal and felt much more solid. Theyre only a hundred bucks at autohausaz for a brand new unit. Well worth it IMHO.

                  Damn Clay. Damn. That looks incredible.

                  Don't be driving to much without getting an alignment first!

                          maybe M50.

                          ideally (and most likely) S50. gotta refill the pocketbook first.

                            How much do those wheels run? Where does one buy new BMW wheels besides the dealer?

                              www.bmwwheels.com is where I was looking, but I got them from the dealer; I get the wannabe-good-prices from them cause my uncle has a shop. Just over 360 each. 2k with tires mounted and balance, with some hookups. ouch.

                                The wheels look great, I think those were the perfect choice. The caster looks funky to me though. I'd like to see what your caster is compared to stock specs once you get your alignment, and I'd also like to hear how the handling is once you really drive it. I'm intrigued.
