    new shoes

    So i had been looking for wheels off and on for awhile. Just decided to jump on something. I will need to put spacers on to fit some real tires on them soon (et 35 sucks). But i think it looks pretty good. Also got a 3.73 lsd installed in place of my 3.25. Welded in a Borla muffler too, still with 325i catback.





    im going to be doing the paintwork soon, then it gets a clutch and flywheel, trans needs resealed, heater core will be replaced, rear door cards installed, mhw front turn signals and a few little odds and ends, then it should be set for awhile.


    Heres a few I took at school for those interested.

    02 745Li, for those that know about these cars, this is where they spend 50 percent of their life (hooked to a gt1)


    e91 getting buttoned up after an evaporator housing removal.


    this was the car I was working on. R+R evap housing. Its an e46 325xi touring. Not quite as bad as it seems, had it in an out in a few hours.

          They need some real sized rubber though.

            YES! FINALLY your car gets wheels that do it justice!

            I always HATED those black on polished weaves that you had, they brought your whole car down a level. It looks amazing now!

              Sweet RK's! Did you buy them from the guy who sold them on this board? If so, you sniped me by a day or two! :D

                      Looks good, I didn't recognize your car at first. I swear before I
                      clicked the thread that I was going to see some more sport max's so RK's were a nice surprise, good choice.

                      Those early 7's are definitely junk, our dealer had quite a few
                      disgruntled customers along with some buybacks.

                          Gotta be honest, not crazy about the wheels. You Definitely need spacers and bigger tires. That should fill in some of the fender gap.

                            +1 RK's are sexy. I almost got some for my car but spacers turned me off. mmmm... they look so good though. what size are the RK's again?
