uh yeah. "Time to move on" my ***! who needs a bmw anyway?

 

lol! i know but just because im getting a BMW doesn't mean im gonna stop modding the 3rd gen. plus i ended up getting these rims before i ordered the bimmer.

 

Looks niiiiice

And the kit looks good on there unpainted too!

 

thanks, i was gonna get the kit painted when i first got it but i was so inpatient on waiting to put it on that i just went ahead and installed it without painting it and its been like that ever since. maybe when i decide to give it a new paint job i'll either paint the kit or leave it alone.

 

now that i can speak, that looks pretty damn good. I may have to find a set.
(btw, you have to update your signature picture, now...)

 

oh i will.

 

Those look a lot better than I thought they would, very nice. Any idea how much they weigh?

 

not a clue. that should have been the first thing i should have done.

 

i bet tehy weight about 26-27 lbs....

they look good on there though. what size tire did you go with? i had 235/40/18 on my 18x8 with +30 offset

 

im running 225/40/18 on my 18x8 with a 40mm offset.

 

Just a quick question. Are 17" rims better for a 3rd gen or 18"?

 

i've heard that in terms of a balance of light weight and stiffness, 16s will give you the best cornering. 17s are stiffer but the added unsprung weight ends up unsettling the balance.

so i've heard.

 

both will ride like crap IMO.

 

I REALLY like those rims. If they didn't weigh so much I'd get a set. Maybe I'll invest in a set for my winter rims! The are the perfect look, IMO. I like them way better than the G35 rims. I wonder if anyone makes a lightweight set?

I'm running on 235-40-18's, and the ride is kinda rough....but I'm also lowered and have stiff konis, so it's hard for me to judge.
