Photoshoot teaser: Another BBS Thread. C55 and 335i w/ LM's FTMFW! (56k hA!)
Sunday was just another day with rain forecasted in the afternoon. Fortunately the weather people were wrong yet again allowing Eric and I to buy some time to shoot our friend, Derrick's, Alpine White 335i. Mods include flat black BBS LM's, KW V1 coilovers, Greddy blowoff valve, OEM Aero kit, and (coming soon) Vishnu ECU upgrade. Most of the work on his car was done by Creative Autoworks.

Here are a few teaser shots we managed to finish after a long day "at the beach". Will add more as we go along.

Awsome pics! Almost looks like you were shooting B&W. Very crisp detail and contrast. LM's are my favorite wheel, and they especially look good on both cars.

You're pictures are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. ... They both look lovely, but more points to the C55, it just looks so aggressive in a classy way, white is definitely a great color.

How come the front and rear wheels are painted differently on the bimmers? I like the rear better... it makes the wheels look bigger.

That is one sharp lookin 335! I agree though, the rims on there should have been left unpainted. Front rims look goofy.
Great photos though!

Hey Ling.. How does your friend like Creative Autoworks? I was going to go there for my brakes but went to Group 5 instead. Creative is really close and was thinking about checking them out..

Thanks for the comments everyone. We'll try to get more photo's finished up tonight.

Zoink, silver: thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure why it was painted that way but I did know something looked out of place. Just couldn't figure out what it was. He is the second owner of the wheels so I'm sure it wasn't his intention. It definitely looks better in the rear.

It's a JDM tradition, the front and rear wheels are supposed to look different.

Mother of Christ those pictures are indescribable. Can I make a request to have them made at wallpaper size please. That has to go on my background.

Okay. Derrick did a little research on the wheels and what you see with the wheel coloring is how they come from BBS. The front wheel face is mounted from the backside of the barrel while the rear wheel face is mounted from the front side hence the reason why the difference in the rivet area.

I'll post the 1600px versions once I have every one of them uploaded.
