    Too much rolling required to fit them, archie bought the TSW's I had for his E30 M3 and two of the style 144's were stolen from my shop unfortunately.

    Got a set of M contours coming saturday that I'm going to rattle can black and throw on for street use.

    Update! Sorta...

    Installed a C02 tank, lines and tap in the shop fridge so not much progress has been made lately. Mounted some e60 style 134 with a set of Hankook R comps I had laying around. Clear the M3 brakes and I won't need to roll the fenders.





    Still need to fix:

    Heater core o-rings
    Paint/ mount is lip
    Alignment
    Re-route exhaust

    I was drinking alot of coors light when I installed the rear braided lines and ending up putting the front lines on the rear. Had to take the rear subframe back out but cleaned a few things up in the process. Updates with a real digi cam should come tomorrow. Borrowing a fender roller from a friend and going to see where I can get with that. Ground control kit is being ordered monday as well as tires. I am giving my "fabricator" friend my z4 3.0 shift lever for the weekend to cut the rubberized section out of it, replace it with a longer piece of aluminum and bend it back and to the left so it sits closer to the steering wheel. Not ratfink long or anything, just enough so its not such a reach when I shift. Akg delrin shift carrier bushings will go back in place of the rubber doughnut thing. Akg billet/ poly rear shock mounts are also going in this weekend with billy sports.

    Slow thread is still slow.

    I agree those wheels look great. A nice roll/pull on the front and rear, and your car is going to look fucking awesome.

    Great work!

    I may be going a different route wheel-wise... lets say BMWNA is liquidating a certain BBS wheel and they are cheaper than dirt.

    I'll let you know if I decide to sell these.

    Tonight the front gets bolted up, going to start with the M3 rack. I'll probably just get frustrated and drink beer instead.

    Did a little more work last night, all the 318ti stuff is bolted in. Also put the braided lines in. This is the fitment of the et20 wheels. Looks almost like when it was mocked up and certainly not sticking out beyond the fenders.



    Side profile.



    Full steam ahead!! Fender rolling should be happening within the next couple days. I think I am going with 215/40/17. Again not a track set-up, just toying around with wheels and stuff for the street. This car does not get driven very often.
