You're kidding right? Sorry but that looks like fucking shit.

Secondly, EUROPROJEKTZ = fucking obnoxious

Is it just me or has this turned into HIN?

I'm not a fan of the gold bolts, or the color matched face, but the five lug and the deep lip did it for me. I don't judge cars by their owners. A nice car with an ass hat owner is still a nice car non the less. Not saying the owner is an ass hat cause i don't know the guy or girl. And what could be more euro then smoke and BBS.

too much stretch...

[alane]

too 205 40 on a 9.5 is a bit small, should have gone with a 205 45 at least. the front needs a stepped lip as well..

Two posts Clay? lol.

My laptop is sporting a silver TNG sticker on the lid. Blends well with the brushed aluminum Q of compaq. On its way to being stickered up!

I wish I used my camera, but all of you do a better job anyway. There's very little I would have taken pictures of that wasn't by anybody else.

Maybe it's because i've been hanging on VWvortex for so long but that is only a mild stretch (and just to be clear i'm not a fan of the stretched look and do not like the fact the rear is stretched like it is.) He had 205's all the way around. If he was a dubber he would have had 195's on a 10" rear with a the rim sticking out a half inch past the tire. Although i will agree that the rear wheel face does look better when it sits flush with the rear arch. I think this staggered (with meatier rubber) setup would look perfect on an e30 m3.

Agreed on all 3 points. Putting K's and Z's in place of C's and S's should be punishable by being beaten to death with your own shoes. And yes, there are lots of badass old school cars there, but 99% of the new shit can go off a cliff. The only reason I wanted to go was to see the old cars, and hang out with the Cali crew.

[speedhop]

I weep for the future of BMW owners...

wtf is going on with all of the body kits and stupidity shoved into and onto every new car?

Nice e30's and e28's though!

It's actually 215/40 on a 9.5in wheel.

And YES it's WAY to much stretch!!!! But it was the only way I could run the wheels for B-fest. As soon as I get the GC coilovers on I will be running at least 225/40 if not 235/40. And I will have a 2in lip put on the front so they won't be so staggered. They will be 16x8.5 & 9.5.

As soon as I had the tires mounted (Fri @ noon) my buddy and I were laughing our asses off on how stupid it looked!! Haha, but it was so last minute I just didn't give a shit. I still think it looks hella mean!!! And it's my car, so what the fuck ever.

Oh, and I have centers and 1/4 caps with carbon/gold BBS centers, but Felgen-garage.de sent me some fucked up shit!!


Haha!!!.......

Understood, you do what you gotta do. I'm looking forward to version 2.


And holeeeeeey shit! :rofl:

[garrett]

The stretch isn't a big deal, but I think an equal amount of lip on the fronts would make it look more balanced. Seeing these pics makes me want to sell my car and get back into an E30.

sorry, I just had to...

[reelizmpro]

So what happened to the sterling M technic cabby? I heard he wrecked on the way.

[m3austin]

Yeah, the M-Tech cabby is Eric J's. He drove from Minnesota (?)...from what I heard he his an ice patch and slid into a guard rail. I hope everything works out for him.

Screw that! If you're going to put those MASSIVE tires on RSs that are that size and RAISE the hell out of your car you shouldn't. I would gladly rock a 215/40 on a 9.5.
