      I just now realized how much I seem to overlook your car because its an "ix" and those aren't really my bag, but NEVER again......

        You went through all that work on your wheels, and you allowed the shop that mounted them for you to use outside hammer on weights?

          I actually noticed that too. Should have asked for sticky weights.

                Yeah, in Rob's words: "You can't see them from the driver's seat, so why give a shit?"

                      I usually keep pretty quiet, but...

                      that ix looks great. props man, and good on you from people who know. I've passed this on to more than one person who's actually qualified for this sort of thing (by BMW NA) and they alll agree that yo've doone right by the by the marque.

                      Don't pay attention to all of these sac-swingers that would, " do this_____" or "_____that", just to make it look like a tri-color piece of shit, et al. Pull-leaze: if everyone went along with what everyone else thought, we'd all be driving tri-colored e30's, where the front doesn't match the hood, that doesn't match the sweet, sweet primer-colored spoilers and hood. Nor would we drive our mom's e36 M3 and pretend it was ours.

                                I think those weights hold on a lot better than the stick on weights.
