That looks so sick! Wow. I'm not sure if I want to rock silver or have the wheels powdercoated. I'm trying to think of what would look like aids with a pearl white paint job.

The "hyper silver" should almost match the pearl in all honesty, because it almost looks like a pearly silver and you have pearl paint and the pearls on my neck that you gave me would match as well.

I've seen them in black before, just make sure you get them done right though because a nice wheel like that deserves a nice paint job.

nice buy!! those wheels would look sick on that car. congrats

If I'm going to powdercoat them, I'm coming down your way to LPC. BUT, I just don't know what color I would do. I want people to look at it and skeet. LOL

Thank you. Yeah, I agree. And I honestly like the 18's more than the 19's, even though I know BMW's rock big wheels.

Because of you bastards, this thread is going to make me sell my S13 to dump the money into this. LOL

That's my boy!!!

You driving the car should be enough for them to skeet, the closest example of your car with those wheels that I could find.

Oakes · 01-06-2009, 12:59 PM

those are shoddy replicas, but you get the idea.

If someone took the time and money to do a motor swap why would they use that motor.. why not put the E36 M3 motor in instead?

I see what you're going for though. Here's another picture of a dark blue one with those wheels. They sure do look sex...

I'm really not sure. Maybe they got it for cheap or something. I guess I'll never know. I WILL say however, I don't mind paying insurance rates for the 1.8L while busting the 2.5L. LOL

I wouldn't steer you wrong when it comes to sexy stuff Mike. That and I have an undying love for M3's that has made me establish a 2nd Savings account towards one

FazdaGt · 01-06-2009, 01:16 PM

that motor is a lottttt cheaper than the m3 motor, and the m50 makes a good bit more power than the 1.8L it's a sensible swap.

Mike, there's a set of M5 replica wheels with tires for sale on here for like $500 they resemble most of those posted in these pics and would look sick on there!

How do you guys feel about this? Personally, I'm torn.

twastheglow · 01-06-2009, 01:26 PM

^ Ok, I've decided I don't like it. LOL!

Oakes · 01-06-2009, 01:27 PM

The black wheels are harder to pull off I think, it gives the BMW a "cheaper" look, BMW's aren't meant for cheap looks. Go big or go the **** home!
