I like em.. but the red caliper doesn't look right IMO. Such a good looking car though.

Yes, the red calipers were for the old wheels, I have'nt had the time to repaint them yet!
Now I just need to get the bumper back on...

I have been trying to find a set of euro bumpers that are'nt perfect like the ones on the car so I can paint them satin black, I just don't feel right about destroying the crome!

These bumpers are very hard to find in this condition!

I think its way too much to be honest, when I saw that other pic of your car with the other wheels I creamed myself, but these I'm just not feeling.

Cool, I personaly can't imagine any other wheels on the car after seeing these ones done and I am a wheel whore, I've had over 20 sets of wheels for this car alone, I just love how drasticly wheels change the attitude of a car, I think the car has a much more sinister personality now and completly finish my original theme of the car. I will definetly get more wheels for the car but only because I'm obsessed :eyecrazy :help

I apreciate everyones honesty, though it will never persuade me to do otherwise.

PS your e34 is bitchin, I miss mine!

I'm always just curious to hear other people perspectives, but it's all about doing what you want to do, not copying everyone else otherwise it would be a very boring world. Be different and have fun!

It's just different enough to standout, yet not so far out there that they become gaudy. I think you've managed to find that precarious line that differentiates style from tacky.

It's one of those things that as you look at it more and more (and I'm sure you have) you appreciate it. Mind you, your previous rims had me cold

Best E12 I've seen.

I don't like it all. I do like the black lip though, maybe leave the middle silver or paint it black again.

+1.

But then the more you look at it it starting to make sense and look kinda cool. Its very original, i give you that and the paint job quality is amazing. Everytime i look at your car it makes me wanna join the E12 club. :buttrock

I like em. Different is always cooler than normal in my book. And style knows no boundaries. Also, what did you use to paint them with? Can, paint gun, detail gun, high temp paint, body paint????

If it were any other color than Damask red/GM mid 80s 'red'/ aka maroon i'd be feeling it a lot more. gold, black, silver, pewter, titanium, bronze, blue, orange, red, green, yellow, purple... anything other than brown, pink, fuscia, baby blue, or maroon. Those are the colors I most detest in the universe.

:drool: no matter, its damn hot, with a little more wheel tuck in the rear and alot in the front and some euro headlights, it would be perfect, oh and yeah and some nice and dark tint!

It only needs to work for you. I would have gone a different direction.
Definatly unique though.

I preferred the look of your car with the black style 32s, but this works as well.

What sort of price do you have in mind; I'd love a e12. mmm

For starters everything on this car is euro including the headlights, No tint for me I like being able to see when I'm driving the shit out of my car and also like the look of the interior!

Thanks, the 535 is almost ready for paint, I plan on having it done by friday!

You should stop by my shop and check it out!

Are you still working at Joe's shop? I have'nt seen you there the last few times I've been!

E34ührer
05-13-2008, 12:27 PM
Yeah. I have some odd hours. I am still unsure I am going to stick around. The schedule is nice, because I can finish school, but I don't know if Joe is going to be able to take care of me like I need.
