too small 195/45-16s


Fixed 205-50/16 225/45-16


driver front is parked near my garage drain, so front tire is lower than normal. running H&R sport vert springs all around.

I can't wait to see the new wheels 👌🏻

rechroming seems to be very hit and miss from what I've seen..

solid choice on the alpinas.

they're my wife's dream wheels :-) still kind of shocked we finally found a set. we're both really happy with them!

back to black your rear bumper end caps ;)

yeah the caps are kinda embarrassing aren't they lol.

i'm swapping the bumpers out because of a really sub par rechrome job. they're completely rust free now after sandblasting but the re-chrome and clear are just not good enough.

so I don't want to take that on until the ITBs are done, and i've been kinda neglecting the rubber bits.

looks nice and clean.

Car is lookin sweet Brad!!!

I do love my Yokohamas .. Unfortunately they don't come in the correct size for 16" Alpinas so I had to go with Dunlop Direzzas. I'll have everything mounted up in a couple of days and post

[pandaboo911]

Damn the Yokohama's on those Alpinas are perfect. Really good looking tire

[330i ZHP]

I am glad they arrived safe and sound. Glad they went to a good home and they look great. Definitely need the larger tire.

mmm 225/45/16 love those tires

[bradnic]

well the alpinas got here safe and sound. one of the 16x8s has about 6" of light rash, but nothing a wheel restoration won't take care of of.


caps are new but one needs restoration


you can tell the tires they came with are for a much smaller car :-)
they are about 30mm too small in diameter front and back
195/45-16 vs 205/50-16 on 16x7 and 225/45-16 on 16x8

this is not quite the look I'm after.. BOOM CHICK BOOM-BOOM CHICK BOOM-BOOM


gonna miss these.. will try them on the IX but not hopeful - 4 brand new tires and a new spare wheel too.


tire height differences


obviously the low riders have the car's weight on them

[doorman]

you should have stopped by.. catch you next weekend?

Daughters b-day party and my moms coming in from Phoenix.......no time to escape for me!!
