    Drive the gf's CRV so that it motivates you to do the M52 fast.


    On a related note, I still hate the Chrysler 200 rental. It understeers worse (!!) when trailbraking, which blows my mind.

          Meh. The salad shooters have a smaller bore size than BMW by a few mm. Too lazy/ don't care enough to get them machined as well... Anyone want some salad shooters for $100? Just bought these for the same price from Decay last weekend :|.

          Awesome looking wheels for not much cash at all!

            aren't you 4-lug? you should be able to find adapters that are the right bore center/bolt circle.

              I currently am on 5x120 adapters for my 16x8 style 5's and don't really want to get different adapters and sink more money into them.

                    yeah, VW was the 2nd marque I went fanboy about, after Toyota. i've owned 5, two of them mk2s like corrado, but they were Jetta & GTI-8v converted to 16v.

                    really nice thing about them is they have a common tire diameter, unlike the e30. plenty of 200-treadwear in 225/45-15.

                        my wife's mk3 was the best car we've owned. 10 years and 150k miles and the only thing that broke was a oil cooler seal. but the maintenance for the car over those 10 years minus oil/tires was ~1500.

                        my e30s have cost me nearly 50k in maintenance in the same amount of time and less miles.

                          Don't even worry about it! It's my fault for not researching it! Totally thought they had the same (or larger) bore.
                          I'm glad I was able to clear some space for you though! If they don't find a new home soon I'll just refinish them and mill them out for the BMW hub bore!

                            Getting the details finalized tomorrow AM but Compomotive is willing to do a group buy for r3v for their TH1781 wheels. They're 17x8, ET20, 4x100 and they are silver, not the white ones. As they are, brand new shipped from them in the UK to us here via insured UPS, the total is $1046 for 4 wheels, caps and bolts. THAT IS NOT THE GROUP BUY PRICE! That is what will be finalized tomorrow. There's a thread in the group buy section for those interested!
