e34 DD build, everyone's doing it...

[Jb325is]

Here are the two I split, stripped and polished. Then polished and sealed the centers



Note- Centers are rear mounts, they're just sitting that way for ease of storage.. So they won't be sticking out like they are when assembled

Winning =) Specs of the new wheels?

[Jb325is]

17x12 and 18x11.. Sending 17's to Weldcraft to be narrowed to either 9.5" or 10" next week

Didn't see this before. Nice work man! Really looking forward to seeing this done.

ATL represent! Will the barrels be getting cut and welded? I was pretty taken by those ACS wheels but these are starting to grow on me already. I need to see them on the car, please.

Me too man, I feel like I've been working on it forever. Let me know when you're home this weekend I need to come get that thing and that other thing

Yep, 2" out of the barrels. I like the ACS wheels too but I couldn't say no to these

[acolella76]

Do they widen wheels also? Would be funny if we did sort of a wheel transplant and widened my wheels with the 2" that you removed.

[Jb325is]

Yeah, they do actually

[ACHTUNG]

Fantastic build so far! Can't wait to see it with the new wheels.

Hot cars=owned by a student!

[QUOTE=Jb325is;2645902]I figured I would put this here since it's what is keeping me from making progress on my e30 temporarily. I've gotten to the point where my e30 is not DD friendly and I really needed another car. I always have had a thing for e34's and had a really nice one a few years back but I ended up breaking it apart and using the drivetrain in my e30.. I kinda regretted it and really wanted another one, so I had no choice when I found this '89 535i 5 speed on craigslist locally with a blown headgasket. It was cheap enough to allow me a little extra cash at it, nothing crazy as I am a self sufficient homeowner/college student but I suck at leaving things alone.

Really! Left overs from your student loans pay mortgage and home owner's insurance! :eeek:

[Jb325is]

I wish! I work 45 hrs a week and go to school whenever I'm not working

[previasc96]

Ooops! Foot in mouth! sorry! 40+ hours plus school and still building project cars... straight up Hustla!

[Wh33lhop]

<3 this car. <3 cirrus. <3 those ACS... probably more than the speedlines

Looking forward to the progress!
