4 wheeled car.
Finally got some wheels and a couple other mods

Picked up this set of wheels from Tbone Thanks for the great deal Terry!

19x10/19x8.5 Work VS-XX, silver w/ polished lips. Michelin PS2 tires. Never thought Japanese wheels would look this good, let alone 19's!

Got my silver colormatched sidemarkers put in, as well as my glossy black grill, all of it painted by my buddy! Thanks Walter!

The pics are courtesy of Auktane and Tunercircuit. I'll post more pics when I get my camera back in a couple of weeks.

Nice wheels but you know this since I was there Saturday- I still say get rid of the faux badges on the side and represent the Kompressor community the way the car was badged.

Its the angle of the camera and the uneven ground where we were on Saturday- the car is level.

I must agree with Vic and say put the 55 kompressor badges back on...those are nice but I think the kompressor badges would be ALOT better...only IMHO that is though...

4 wheeled car.
I had to use a 3mm spacer in the back to clear the BBK, otherwise it's perfect fitment.

As Vic explained, the ground is uneven, but I do think my right front is lower than its counterpart. I rub when turning where I don't on the left. I'll experiment and see if I can fine tune it (I have adjustable links).

Yeah, JDM wheels is a no no usually on German cars, but these just looked too good!

Thank you Tbone for the great hookup!

enjoy Mike! Thanks for a smooth sale. I wish I got this much love when I put these wheels on. I wonder if the eye candy has anything to do with it. LOL

I thought 19" on an E would look tiny, but I think you pulled it off well because of the drop.

Alicia ftw.

Nice, looking good man. Glad you are mixing it up a bit with JDM wheels.
