Flared Fenders

[UNHCLL]

Next is deciding what new wheels to use to replace these after the summer ends.... Finally grown tired of the mis-matched colors, and the skinny 215 tires. 17x8(+) and 235(minimum) is this winters goal.

Enjoy... snapped these near my house. Totally un-edited because my Photoshop crashed. Just resized using Windows Paint. :barf:



















Oh, and here is what shares the garage with the M3... new toy this spring. First brand new vehicle I've ever purchased.

M3 is looking good as always. I agree, she is deserving of 235's at the very least. You're going to stick with a cross spoke pattern of some sort I assume? RC's are hard to out do though.

How's the SV treating you? My new neighbor seems to be enjoying his, haven't had the chance to talk to him yet though.

I agree that it could use some different wheels:)
Check out the e38 weaves I have for sale. I'd go even wider than 8 if it was me though

"Flared Fenders" I lol'd, you got me. Looks great! I'm not feeling the RCs at all... Can't wait to see what's in store for it.

I have a set of ACS Type 1 17x8.5/9.5" in the basement... maybe those. Maybe something else. Unsure at this time. I'll have to submit a request for approval to Ray Smoovedriver first though....
Have a line on 17x8.5" RC's... but not sure I want to run the same style again?

Excellent. Love it. My first street bike. It's been great to get comfortable with. I've already got an itch for a Triumph Daytona 675 though. This bike has plenty of power to get me into trouble right now... however a good bit of my riding is on the highway for work commuting, so no fairings = more wind buffeting than I'd like.

Had them. Sold them.

Thought I might catch one or 2 with that title. ;)
I don't think the RC's would be that bad if I was running a 235 series tire, and maybe some more aggressive spacers. Right now they're just too tucked into the car.

Dont like the RC's!!!? Are you kidding, those look amazing on your car!! Dont put goofy ass stretched tires on that thing. I vote keep those BBS's and put a couple sizes wider tire on there. Car is hot! Looks like it was meant for the Ring.

Where did you get that kit for your 325is? It's badass.

You're right, they do look really good. But I think you need to run center caps... I love the RC center caps and they would clean the look up nicely. Definitely go with some wider tires too. ;)

I've heard a lot of good things about the new SV's. Very nice.

Love it as always - the car just keeps looking better. If you want to ditch those wheels for a reasonable price later this year give me a shout. Nice pics!

[2002maniac]

nice kit! erebuni?

[MR 325]

What do I have to do to make my 85 325e look like your car?





But seriously, looks so clean!

[UNHCLL]

You can find the needed parts to make your '83 316d look like this on the internet.

Siedel tuning sells everything you need.

Sadly, can't run the caps on these wheels unless I go to larger spacers. The wheel studs stick out too far and interfere with the centercap.


Thanks for the kind words guys.

They look better without, anyway.

[YAN-3]

very nice! i would like to see something with a polished lip or maybe a nice set of BBS RSs in 17"
