Hey, it looks great!!! What tire size are they?

I do agree with them, both of us have to lower our car w/ 18" aftermarket rims to look better

nice color, great rims......Just nice car over all

Post pics of the lowerization of the automobilization, did you end up getting the Eibach or HR?

Just a note:
I believe someone on the forum stated that if you do not lwer the car more than 1.5" it's not worth getting shocks, but may be you can get a second opinion from your tech

I'm not thinking of getting shocks, hopefully they're not needed that bad.

It feels more stiff, I can feel things in the road much more, a little more road noise but I think the ride is acceptable, I use to have the 16" OEM wheels with the 225/55 tires so the ride has changed some but it still feels OK

Just out of my curiosity, why do you want to put the BMW caps instead of the BBS caps on?

I have both sets (BMW and BBS), I think it gives it a more "stock" look with the BMW center caps. If it was a Honda, and I had both BBS and Honda, I would definitely put the BBS.

Besides, my understanding is that BBS makes the wheels used in BMWs, right? So it does not makes any difference, I guess....
Let me know what you think and correct me if I'm wrong
