Re: New...brighter pics

Here is the final product...well atleast with the new wheels.

Those look real good with red! The E46 rims are a nice upgrade.

Pretty decent price for a set of 17 inch rims. Do not like the style, but for 17 inch....hey, I started out with the stock 15 inch ones in OK shape.

Still got them for sale also.....local buy and a good deal. Tires mounted on them

whats with the red thing on the spoke?

It says " Villain". I guess it is the name of the wheel (style). They came that way but I
suppose it would come off????

This is a different story...I bought this 93 325is new in 93. I put chrome 18's on it and
loved it!!! I probably don’t have to tell you how expensive chrome 18’s were back in 93…Back then
Pirelli was about the only tire that you could get in an 18...Not only that the wheels were Racing Dynamics and they were put on by the dealer. If I remember right, it was about a $ 5000 add.

I was driving down the street the other day and saw a friend of mine from high school. He said
he saw my old B'mer the other day and the guy was selling it. He didn't know how to get a hold of him but he remembered he was from a town about 30 minutes away. I went home and started Goggle’in him and searched everything. I ended up finding a guy who posted on a Honda Message Board and posted he
owned a 325is also. Got his IP and searched more...to make a really long story..."long",
I found his number and called. 3 days later. I got my old car back!!! I joked with my
wife that I got a MUCH BETTER DEAL the second time around. The guy took great care of it and
I am a proud owner again. Funny note. When I went to pick it up, the guy offered me
the Car Fax report...he realized what he said and then said, "oh, never mind...I guess you know". Since this one, I bought a new 99 and 2000. This car is still my favorite so far. Maybe it was the price

I know that is not what you asked but, when he bought it, the chrome started to peel and he
replaced the chrome with these. So I really don’t know much about them except that when I got it back, I switched to the chrome. I am 35...(damn that sounds old)...and still love chrome wheels. Different strokes I guess.

Thanks. I really like the way it turned out. I haven't taken nearly as much crap from my chrome wheels on the BMW as I have from a Z forum for putting chromies on my Z. You are all OK in my book. Just so all of you know, I have been a member on a "Z Forum" that I will let remain nameless for now...and you guys are so much kinder than the other one. The other huys do nothing but wait to slam fellow owners. I fugure, we all have something in common...We love our cars. I love the Z and BMW the same but I have not been on the "other" board for 2 months now. Kuddos to all of you for being good to one another.

OK, enough sappy crap.

The type 44 rims are also so easy to clean compared to my stock 97 rims.....those were a bastich to keep clean.
