    hey kam, how was your impression of the avid wheels for the short time you had them? they're super cheap so i'm tempted but i would like something with a little bit of quality if possible.

      they were nice, lighter than the majority of 17x8.5" rims, had the perfect offset for an E30 with no spacers needed, not mutilug. They just didnt look the part for my E30.

        Also I'm looking for an M30B35 now as well as 5 speed for one. I have some plans for this winter.

          got bored and found some rustoleum flexi-dip(plasti-dip but red and cheap)


          messed around trying to see what top layers would match zinno the best. it still peels off easy and in one piece so I can always go back.


          matches close enough

              Damn it even shows a painted wheel on the can!

              Flares look pretty good in red I must say.

                  I'll get some more pics once my new axle bolts come in so I can lower the car, the great thing about that coating is that its very resistant to chips and scratches and when you have such wide wheels the rear flares tend to get little chip form the front tires so it should hold up much better than regular paint.

                  They also had a gunmetal/dark grey dip that I may spray my chrome kidney's with to see how it looks and then peel it off if I'm not happy.

                          Nice.

                          What are the reasons for the M30 swap?

                              m30 makes more power than my m20 with like half the boost.

                                fair enough.

                                is there a significant weight gain with the M30?
