That looks great! About your marker lights, that looks good too, does light still come through them, or are they opaque?

Thanks. LOL, I knew all of you are going to say that. Yup I do need a drop, for now I'll keep it as is until I'm sure I'm going to keep the car.

Thanks guys you were great, I owe you guys for putting them on the car. Thanks for your patience in finding the bolts and working on the car. I do need a drop, if I decide to continue modding the car I'll let you guys know so you can hook me up with a new suspension.

Yes they are, about $70 for the set.

Thanks. Just a pain to clean though, 'coz I normally clean the insides of the wheel as well plus now I have to brush each rivets.

ya he did go with the staggered set up, i'm still thinkin bout gettin the CH's there just so much loot. my boy got his for madd cheap tho cuz they were used but in perfect shape pretty much. theres a few nicks here and there from when they were puttin the tires on but no scratches or nething. I dk if i should just wait for the 18" CH's or just get 18" brabus replicas......

Yeah I noticed. I have other priorities right now so I'll probably hold on to the car for a year or so and go from there. This car is a good buy if I decide to sell it, it's an 04.5 (still includes free maintenance for 4 years) with around 17xxx mi.

The CH's on my M3 were 18's and I got it used also. The price new is actually not bad for some german made wheels, I think you can get a set with tires for around $2000+. Add a couple of hundreds more for a staggered set-up.

wheels make a big difference on the car. you can go wrong with classy looking wheels and a lip in the rear. so what's the next beside suspension of course?

That's why I preferred to go with some wheels than other stuff, just to give it a nice stance. It might be a while till I do anything with the car again or I might not even do anything. I'm planning on going back to an M3 in the future.

I love the wheels but it's just a pain to clean, it was my 1st time washing the car with the wheels on a couple of days ago, ...the polished lip, the rivets. And the rears are rubbing, so if I get annoyed I might just go back to stock or go with a less aggressive set-up.

Are you saying that the rear wheels are rubbing even with your stock suspension?

Those DPE looks HOT...

Thanks. Yes it does rub when I hit a dip in the road and it gets worst when I have a passenger at the back.

What tires are you running? That offset shouldn't rub, it's not that extreme? Did you roll the fenders?? What are your wheel and tire specs:

Wheels
Front:
___X____ _____offset

Rear:
___X____ _____offset

Tires
Front:
___/___/___

Rear:
