Its funny when I was looking at pictures before I bought it my first thoughts were, first thing I'm doing is selling those wheels and going back to stock, but holy hell they look amazing. 295 in the rear and its tough to get this thing spin off the line. I drove one with stock wheels and it was almost like you can't punch it from a stop... The tires just spin haha

it's the bad IC pump that allowing him not to spin, not the tires (I wish it was as easy as sticking 295's on the rear
)
OP - CONGRADS and welcome to the club!!!!!!! - Had the same wheels before and they really do look good - gives it a good aggressive/factory look - love everything that's done to the car so far

Actually I was wondering that... Have I even felt full power yet with the IC pump bad? it will let me rip it once or twice but then it kills down and reduces power... On those initial pulls it fells fast and last night i put a spanking on a 135i driving home with one of those good pulls.. So back to my question... Have I even felt 100% yet?
Some would argue - without a pulley tune and headers, you have'nt felt max power. . .

From a dead stop, you shouldn't have traction if you floor it, if you do, you're loosing power somewhere - getting the stage 2 package - you'll lose traction up to about 45 -50 mph (and if it's cold with summer rubber, a little higher).
you notice the power gains with headers above 70-80mph; pulley and tune (either separate or as part of a package) you'll notice everywhere. . .She really is pretty - enjoy her. . .and don't be afraid to run her - I personally think they like to be run hard occasionally.
