    New Wheels/ Member Intro

    This is my member introduction too i guess since i have never posted on here much.
    My name is Saige, I got my E30 in June. Its got brand new paint (many flaws though) but no rust. The engine is pushing 227k and still runs pretty strong except for burning oil after 5000RPMS. It also has Ireland Engineering Sport springs with bilstein shocks. I am enlisted in the Airforce as an Airborne Linguist, I leave Jan 22nd. Till then all my money is going into this thing. It will become more of a track car than a street car.

    My plans are a full cage, I am picking up a set of corbeau seats this week, i am going to get rid of that beat up M20 for rather an S50, M50 turbo or another M20 and turbo it. I need power for BIR. That track is a horsepower track.

    Last week i got my Sportmax 002's 16X8. I know what everyone is going to say. Yes everyone is getting them and they are cheap wheels but they are strictly just my cheap wheels for the time being. I dont see any reason to spend over $1k on a set of wheels that probably wont even get much use after this season. Because once it becomes track ready I will be running a set of Kosei K1's.

    Looks pretty good. I would say one thing to do is either tuck the bumpers or go plastics, for some reason they look alittle odd on your car.

        Its strange how sometimes the color combo and model can make these cars look different from each other.

          imo tucked bumpers are hideous. did you paint your rockers body colour?

            yes, the body rockers have a sealer on them and then were painted over with bronzit.

                  coilovers are needed to pull those wheels off.

                    Looks nice - not normally a fan of that color, but looks classy on your car with those rims.

                      I'm guessing those are the 0 offset wheels?
