Yes I am going with the concave look. This is part of DPE's concave series. A great looking wheel. Hope it looks as nice on the car.

A few updates.... The transmission arrived at EC in TX about 2 days ago. John will be taking it apart and upgrading the clutch packs and a few other things. Once he is finished with it he will ship it back to OH to be installed. We will be ready to start the tuning at that point.
The brakes are finished up. Went ahead with new rotors, pads and stainless lines.
Since we have to wait on the transmission to come back we are going to go ahead and install the LSD.
The guys will also be installing the MB Arts Camber Arms. I think I will go ahead and order the MB Toe Arms also. Might as well since I have the time.

The car is looking good! The brakes look much better in person then in the pics. Like you said they are waiting on the tranny so they are at a standstill for now. The welds on the exhaust remind me exactly of my Meisterschaft which was like 5gs. It is amazing how they do that!
But I must admit, I was looking more at these and discussing with Stass when we were gonna hit the lake!

Well it is about time for an update. John at Eurocharged started breaking down the transmission today for the build. The LSD is being installed at IPS today. And talking with them now if I want to go ahead and do a coilover conversion. Yes I am pretty much crazy
One day I will actually be able to drive this thing lol.

Might as well ditch the airmatic while the entire underside of your car is out. Using your logic, I can't wait for one of my airmatic bags to blow so I can go twin turbo with a built tranny "since everything's out already"
GREAT project so far man. Can't wait to see what she does.

Yes I hope to drive the car this year. Down time is not good for me lol. I do need to see this thing running. That way I can start my built block project for stage 2It is taking a while but the guys at IPS are doing a great job. Stas has been taking care of me big time. They actually hit me up when the rear was out and said "he man you mentioned wanting to convert to coilovers. Now is a good time to do it with everything out of the way" I was like yeah your right. And coilovers will be a bonus for the track
Now that I am selling the escalade and the E55 is getting built, kinda makes me wish I never sold the e46 M3. Would been a lot more fun to drive around while I wait. Oh well. Might look for a daily driver next month. Not like I will be driving this bad boy every day. The wife never wants me to drive her Supercharged Range Rover. She said, "I know how you drive" LOL!
Will update with tranny pics soon.
