not sure what you mean by the 97 m3 springs. I just ran coilovers with a stiff rate this 0 offset is a pain in the ass to run but it looks money IMO.

I mean selling the E30 and buying a 97' M3. I have to figure out what I am doing before I start dumping real money into this

its simple really,

Take your time!!!! that is the most important thing. this paint took 7 days to cure, that means no touchy touchy. The whole process took me 9 days start to finish.

Ok...

1. get rims
2. sand them, I used a scotch bright since they were new and I just wanted to scar the surface. If they are old and used then prep is super important, clean them, sand them, all that kinda stuff.
3. clean them, clean them really really well, wash, then degrease. Dont skimp on any of these steps.
4. mix the paint, get the right pressure, do test runs on other shit like a cat or whatever you find laying around.
5. go slow, first paint a tack coat to let the paint adhear to, then do the other coats, fallow the paint instructions. The endura paint said to let sit for 30min inbetween coats.
6. I painted 4 super light even coats, the end result was epic. I will have to take a few more shots of them to show the shine.


Hit up "Trent" on here he is a rep for endura and that is the only kinda paint you are going to run if your not going to powercoat.

dont be afraid if you mess up, we painted the first set and let them cure for a few days and I wasnt happy with the results so we resanded them and started over. Just take your time, try and get a good gun and a booth and you will be solid.

Lets see the process and some before and afters!!!!

Once I get it ll started, I'll document the process of doing all this
My rims are visually abused (color wise) compared to how sexy they looked when they were new....they are such good rims too

first...the car looks amazing.

how many miles have you driven since painting the wheels? how is it holding up to rock chips/brake dust/etc.?

I put about 2k on them and the paint is indistructable. It has shown no sign of stress or cracks, or blemishes. Endura is the way to go.
