Hey guys!
Finally came through on the pictures. Thanks to everyone that have helped me and thanks to Albert at TWS. The man always comes through with the hands-down absolute best prices!
Brakes were done without a hitch, and amazingly, the Volks cleared the C32 calipers without the need for spacers. What it didn't clear, was the coilovers. Damnit. So Albert cooked some amazing isht up and slapped 10mm spacers in the front. Now it clears the coils, but barely! So now I'm running +25 up front, which is almost flush as hell! It looks absolutely great, but I'll have to roll my fenders hahah. For the rears Albert used 13mm spacers, but surprisingly, it' isn't absolutely flush. It's now +22 in the rears with a little more room to go. I'm currently rubbing, but it's because I haven't shaved off the extra plastic. I'll do it over the week and hopefully it'll solve that.
- C32 front calipers powdercoated yellow
- R1 Concepts premium cross-drilled rotors [F/R]
- Akebono ceramic pads [F/R]
- Goodridge SS brake lines
- 10mm spacers up front / 13mm rears = +25 F // +22 R
- Volk Racing Flat Black flat caps
+ 2 Volk Racing TE-37's
Pics aren't all that great, but thanks to my good friend I actually have decent pictures to post. Here you go!
And a pic of the +22 rears. In the future, I may try to get hellaflushed and maybe try to get the offset down to 16-18, but that's one day, aha.

Congrats on the outcome. It does have a distinctive look.
You have shown us all that patience and persistance can pay off hugely.

Thanks for hte compliments dudes. About the stickers: I actually have them, but I can't find them. I used them for evidence, and then I magically lost them, LOL. I'm searching for them, but still no luck. Also, forgot to mention that the front wheels are damaged lightly. There are nicks and scratches over the face, and the vinyl lip is peeling in some spots. Either the suspect or the police did it, but oh well. I'll fix it when it irritates me to a point, haha.
Lol, good eye. The calipers are actually a lot paler than I wanted, but in the end said f ck it and put them on. It's growing on me, lol, and it's hard to color match a sticker!
yessir it is! I'm so happy!
Thanks John! It's been a long time coming for sure, and YES, I finally have the C32 fronts! Albert from TWS did the hwk for me; he had these spacers that acted as a hub ring. They fit as 66.5, but ended as 73.1, which allowed the wheel to fit perfectly. The wheels are 19x8.5 all-around; yes, it's not aggressive, and not staggered (boo!), but it was for Audi fitments and I can't complain!
Thanks for the opinion. But yeah, I love yellow so that's why I did all that
LOL, not JDM enough yet!
LOL, no more DTMxJDMxDrift style no more. Albert is actually swamped with work. If there was a recession, you definitely couldn't tell at his shop.
Thanks for the kind words Ed!

That looks just great - at last after all the crap you have had. BMW LOL is looking superb.
You deserve it I've just returned from vacation in Thailand so have not been on the forum. I understand that some jerk tried to mess up your thread. Pleased it has been dealt with by Phil. Sorry if I precipitated the mess. People with big V12 engines & small dicks can be problematic
Only way to achieve some weight up front
