    What I did over spring break...

    I just had spring break last week, and had nothing to do really... so I decided to get as much done on my car.
    This is what it looked like before:


    And here's what it looks like now:






    I have plastics that just got out of the paint shop, that I plan on putting on this weekend. then I'll be satisfied... for now.

            No idea, Craigslist special. 16x7 et20... and cheap, so I don't care. Pus they are 10000000000x better than the old ones.

            And to the rest, agreed. Most of the week was spent bringing the paint back in some places, but the shadowline and trim make the car now IMO.

              Now, all of that white paint on your new wheels needs to be carefully removed with 2000 grit sandpaper and water ;)

                225/45/16s... yeah they're big, but they came on the wheels, so why not run them until i can get some 215/45s...

                I don't know... I was originally thinking about stripping them, and going black, but I kind of like the white now... We'll see what happens.

                    215/45 is still too big. Yeah what size are they?

                      They're Speedlines, I don't think they have any manufacturer's markings on the casting, just a sticker on one of the spokes (which appears missing on yours). My half-brother has a set on his '91 318. I think they're in the +20 offset range. Great wheels.

                          They're 16x7s

                          Hmm, I'll have to look into the speedlines, and see if thats really it. Thanks.

                            Looking pretty clean man. Way better then those hideous chrome shit nuggets. Need to hit it up with a clean lip. Time for an updated sig. ;)

                              Really. I thought that sounded about right. I'm running 205/50/16's which is what everyone recommends.
