[SMOCAN]

Dude, let me know when I can see this thing... That is nasty looking, in a good way, haha.

[subwrxkid]

amazing.

[97TurboDSM]

not gona lie, but they look a little ridiculous on a 4 door beemer.

do you have any clue whats under the hood of that 4door bimmer?

[The Captain]

that's the most bastardly awesome bimmer eva

[GsrSiHatchie]

not at all and if it is built to a 10 second car sleeper look is accomplished

if it was stock its absolutely ridiculous

[97TurboDSM]

i suggest you look up his member journal and then make a statement after that.

[GsrSiHatchie]

lol i dont care; my statement stands. he has a sick build aka need for mickeys, cool, but if someone has that same body car and bolt ons, 5k near my school alone from the guidos, and they are running **** like that, which iv seen on more than one occasion at European meets, its dumb. actually needing them is a different story when did i bash his build at all ****s sick i wish i had the time 2 do that

[OutOfStock]

his cars stock hence the name...stockers with drag radials FTW

[97TurboDSM]

what the **** did your post even say..i never said you bashed his build, i said if you're not familiar with it, then read up and you'll understand why hes using that wheel/tire setup.

[Kevin]

wheels look great.

stfu

[GsrSiHatchie]

when did i say it was bad dude lol, sowwy little man for making you so angry.

seriously if i saw a green 199x beemer comming up next 2 me and saw those wheels i would say holy **** thats ridiculous end of story

so stock ... i didnt know that build was so extensive and if i saw it on the street wouldnt think it would be either. congrats on the work if i ever saw something like that flying by me id probably **** my pants :thumbup:

[97TurboDSM]

lol not angry. i just think that wheel/tire combo suits that car perfectly since its going to be a freaking monster when he's done with it. its such a sleeper and i love that...just wanted you to be aware of the badassness of the car

[TROLL]

i think it look pretty silly, but i bet it gets the job done...

[SoStock92]

as far as I know this is the first bmw to be running weld pro stars - theyre not factory fitment, they're adapted. not sure that theyre running "**** like that" lol

[CHAOS]

lol you should daily drive like that... talk about the most gangster 7 series

[SoStock92]

5 series * - yeah its going to be daily driven like that

doh! either way its nasty man... you hit the dyno or anything yet?

[SoStock92]

doh! either way its nasty man... you hit the dyno or anything yet?

Nah not for a while I had to pull the cylinder head because of a nasty oil leak. Putting it on in the next few days.

ahh... well much like everyone else with a brain, i am anxiously awaiting some numbers.

[BradC]

Doesn't that kinda kill the sleeper theme?

Either way, they are some badass meats!

[SoStock92]

Not really - i never claimed the sleeper theme, others appointed it. Personally if you're familiar with BMWs it would be obvious something is up - fuel sump, 4" exhaust, funny looking radiator in the grill. But they're just tires - from a roll it'll look like polished aluminum wheels with big tires... which is what it is :mrgreen:

[lawdogg]

Looks awesome. If I ran into you and got handed my ass I would surely flip you a thumbs up if you ever slowed down. :p

[PaleDSM]

I appreciate the need for them but I don't think they look good.

[OptiCon]

Doesn't that kinda kill the sleeper theme?
Because the "tear your ****ing face off" exhaust note has done such a good job of keeping the secret. :-p

[OBEEWON]

Ahh, I was wondering what you would do about traction. Sizes and specs?

Hurry up and get numbers. This thing should be in a mag already. Most whp on TST maybe??

Good to see you put all those parts on your car!

Size and specs in first post - yah I'd like to get her in a few magazines soon. Still got work to do!

Picked this up yesterday from Extreme to motivate me to put the cylinder head back on:

[sisforsurfing]

hahaha, it's the automotive equivalent of a classy, 50 year old man in a business suit hitting you in the face with a sledgehammer.

Keep it up! Does this mean it's home, now? I want to stop by!!

[SoStock92]

Dude gif its been home since blowneuroz bro

I just figured from your concentration of $$$ on anything but looks, that's what you were after :thumbup:

But I digress, if you can't tell somethings up with that car, BMW guy or not, somethings wrong with you, lol

[OBEEWON]

This has been running through my mind the whole time watching the build. Oldy but a goody. Neee - fer - diem!!!

I hope to see you doing some of this...

well realize the car has already been resprayed, has painted skirts, painted lower bumpers, rieger front bumper, euro lights, etc. So to BMW people they know its not stock... but its not like "wowowow body kit" either. I think it'll catch people off guard regardless

[turbo4g63]

Are you sure that is gonna be enough tire? There is no doubt that thing is still gonna spin like a bitch.

[CarbonIS]

wheels look pretty badass to me.

Point taken. I just thought it was an amazingly clean 5 series, didn't realize the extras you had on there.

I like that in the sense of its subtleness.

I think it'll catch people off guard regardless

No doubt!

[SoStock92]

Are you sure that is gonna be enough tire? There is no doubt that thing is still gonna spin like a bitch.

I sure as **** hope so - I didn't think so at first based on reading the dimensions, but let me see if I can put it in perspective:

275/50/15 is the same as a 10.8x26x15 tire, which when inflated has the same contact patch as a 10.5x26x15 tire. 10.5 tires are what most drag cars are running when down in the high 7's, low 8's. Granted they're more like 10.5x28 or 10.5x30, but still 10.5 wide.

I think its MORE than enough

wheels look pretty badass to me.

thanks - i like how it looks like a muscle car almost. I have scene pics of SC300 and supras with this type of setup and it looks so badass.

[EvlEgl]

It's Different, At first glance They look Goofy on a BMW...But Function > Form or so they say.

[Kevin]

Get some more distant shots of the car. **** looks so funny.

[TROLL]

what front wheels are those? and is that your ride height up front?

lastly, can you please get some mustang vinyl and put it on your rear bumper or something?

[SoStock92]

Theyre factory forged M5 wheels with turbine covers. The one side has the cover but no center cap, the other side has neither the cover or the center cap. Those won't be on the car much longer as they are on loan. The ride height is lower in the front when the cylinder head, turbo, radiator, intercooler, intake manifold, downpipe, piping....... are all in the car ;)

No vinyl - you're just jealous :)

[jc8889]

Looks cool, but silly at the same time.

[peteyturbo]

So are you planning on running it at the track or just running the tires for ****s and giggles.

[CHR!S]

those are sick, do they make them in that size any narrower though?
friend of mine needs some et-streets for his integra

[Blue32]

Looks good .. Bring it down first friday...

[DelCoTuninG]

Looks good nice nice

[redline]

Lovin the look! You really should get some pizza slicers for the front and complete the drag look:lol:

[SoStock92]

I already ordered something for the front :) Should be here tonight - will take pics when I get it.
