Almost done....right.

They look pretty good and all, but I never got the whole Porsche/Audi/VW/other wheels on a car that isn't one of the above when you keep the centercaps on....guess it is just me?

[hootie]

Because it's scary as hell to drive that low... lol I hate being so low sometimes. Then when I see people looking at me driving around like, "wtf, how is he driving that thing?!", it makes it all better again.

PLUS, your car is a racecar correct? If you are as low as we are the suspension geometry is all messed up and the car doesn't handle as well...

Yeah it is kinda scary driving around like it is right now. But the car is intended for the track and these are just my street rims. I have a set of koseis for autox. I agree that when you drop it too low the geometry is jeopardized and the car wont handle as you would want it to. I get some funny looks though when I am driving with the cage and the porsche rims.

Rims are rims. If a design looks good, why not throw it on another car? The porsche emblems just give it a little flair. Its not like I would keep the Honda symbol if I put Honda rims on...

Trying to go about a half inch lower in front and back. Just got to figure out how

well, if you want to sell the H&R Races to me... :p

Not saying they look bad at all, in fact they look pretty sweet..but I am just against the Porsche emblem on a BMW thing...call me old fashioned

Honda emblem on BMW = I slap you! :hitler:

EDIT: They kinda look like my E36 Bottlecaps...they give it a race-y look for sure.

[scabzzzz]

Hate to say it but I dont like the chrome kidneys. I would if the trim was chrome around the doors. Paint them?

Looks awesome though. I like the stance of the car. Being incredibly low is not practical for driving on roads.

6's up front, 8's in the back?

I personally wouldn't want other badges on my car. Kind of sends off a poseur vibe.

Car looks great, though.

Looks good. where'd you get the adaptors?

[hootie]

7's in the front 8's in the back. I want to trade the 7's for some 8's to go up front.

The original trade was my stock basketweaves for the D90's (2 tires were bald) and 4 20 mm adapters. The 20 mm adapters didnt cut it for me. So a local guy (Mossman) had some bigger adapters that I bought off him. You can get them from H and R though. Some other websites carry them too.

Mayo > you



But it looks great.

At least this guy didn't spray his interior with wheel paint.


Looks badass, I agree that it would look better lower, but you probably already scrape all the time.

Ok so after seeing this thread I have come to a conclusion.

In order to pull off these Porsche wheels the car must be slammed to the FUCKING ground.

[Motorsports]

car looks real nice, and i like the drop.

I suppose neither of you would agree to vlad Having his Porsche BBK out on display?..




I love your new wheels, Since Eliot got his I've been tossing the idea around in my head..

They look sweet. 8's in the front would be even better! And keep the emblems! They're awesome
