I know, it looks great but I just can't get over the fact that they're reps. I could buy literally any wheels with tires to put on my dad's car and keep these (he honestly couldn't care less what wheels he has) but I can't stand that they're not real -
Nope, still have them. I cleaned them up today and took like 25 pics for an interested buyer, so hopefully I'll have them sold soon. I'm picking up a set of 17" A's around thanksgiving, and I'll be rolling on weaves with dangerous tires til then. I really hope it doesn't rain too much.Leave a comment:

Finally washed these today. My e30 had gone around 2 months, the e46 hadn't seen water in like a year.

That pic makes it look more raked than it is. I'll likely put a extra pair of spring pads in the back and get drop hats up front.Leave a comment:

Looks like it's taking a dump.
Very nice otherwise, I think getting the ride height evened out will do wonders for it.Leave a comment:

Thanks for the helpful comment. I'll probably end up doing a bit of both. I've ALWAYS liked low cars and it's just been a dream of mine forever to own something really slammed. I'll probably end up dropping the front about 10mm and also raising up the rear about 10mm. Like I said, the car as a whole already leans forward, and in my mind that's what I look at for rake. The fender gaps will never be even without the whole body of the car leaning like a 70's muscle car, so I'm just trying to find the balance that looks best.Then lift up the rear, you have tread gap in the front and almost tucking wheel rim in the back.
Remember lower is not always better, just because the back drops more; does not mean you have to drop it beyond the front. Bring it up in the back and match it to the front. Then when you get down more in the front match it ALMOST even in the rear. I always go with 1/2 higher in the back. You also have the lower rear arches, so you're really uneven with the front. Looks like a dog dragging it's ass with worms.
Not bashing at all, so don't take it like that. Your vert is clean and nice, just fix the height!
And fwiw, I don't quite consider this car to be stupidly, unusably low...because it's not. I take it everywhere and have never hesitated to go anywhere because of unfamiliar roads or other hazards. I don't even drag the lip going into parking lots around 90% of the time.Leave a comment:
