Oh My!

[sirius815]

That side shot is :drool:

[DavidsM3]

What size on the rears?

[5mall5nail5]

Damnit - remove that cross line and strip the powder/paint off and polish it up. I hate when places don't remove that piece!

[SM3]

Now that looks very nice, love the deep dish in the rear I always wanted something like that in the rear of mine..

[TommyICS]

Dead sexy setup you got there...it flies and its a looker. :)

[highboostingm3]

Damn you I just saw a picture in the main page Kevlar thread of a black Roadster making me want one and now this? Crap! You suck...your car rocks though!

Oh yeah and throw a GT32R on there! :)

Looks amazing. Are those stock Evo calipers? They look like it.

[iceberg578]

car is very clean

The 355's were stock on f40's pretty sure the evo uses something much smaller

haha I'm guessing you're talking about the hard brake lines on the calipers? I'm thinking about changing the color of them so we'll see. Also debating the wheel color too, those might need to be something different in the near future as well! :)

Thanks! I didn't mind the stockers/sleeper look (kinda haha) but proper wheels make the car seem completely different!

Typically not a fan of big flat lips, I <3 stepped lips, but they are definitely growing on me. I figured I would give them a shot. If and when I get something else for the Roadster, I would ultimately like to have something similar in 18", these will be making there way onto my 335 :D

Thanks, wanna trade for a few weeks? :D 32R, what would we do with that baby thing? ;)

Calipers are from a Evo 10 MR, came off the car with 170 miles. They are 14" in the front (I think they may classify them as 350mm) and 13" (330mm) in the rear. The rotors are at the machine shop right now getting the proper bolt pattern and center bore machined. As soon as I pick them up I'll be making some custom carrier brackets. The fronts will be quick, I'm debating what I want to do in the rear, either with the stock caliper used as well for ebrake only, or using a line lock with the Brembo calipers. Luckly I live in FL where it's flat, but I'd still like to have a functioning ebrake

wow, those wheels look perfect on the car!

I don't mind that red, its not ridiculously bright "hey look at my brakes red" but yeah the hard line kills it in my opinion - I am a stickler for details haha. The black wheels are ok. I am kind of over the polished lip black center look, but its classic and safe.

[EMC]

Those look so much better than the last set. Very nice!

I usually HATE black wheels/polished lip. I bought these with every intention of repainting but of course had to try them for fitment first. As much as I can't believe I'm saying it, I don't mind the black. I still prefer plenty of other colors though. I love gold wheels more than one could possible imagine but I'm not so sure I see these working too well in gold. I also think a red center, color matched to the top/interior would be badass, but again not so sure it will work on this wheel? One of these days I will decide on a color, until then they are acceptable like they are.

I think the route I am going to "try" to pull off ultimately is the Brembo calipers silver with red brembo lettering and the wheels red center, polished lip. Out there I know, but what the hell? :D

Thanks!! And agreed, wheels most definitely make or break the car! :buttrock

[5mall5nail5]

Silver calipers would look good. Get them powder coated, its not hard.

[jonesmechanical]

Wow, rare find. Were they a fitment originally for the e46m3? If so, usually they require spacers to look that aggressive in the rear. What's the specs of the tires and offsets, and spacers if used. Also state any fender mods. Looking good.

No they were custom built for a Coupe. The front offset seems pretty standard, 19x8 et35, the rears are 19x10.5 but not sure of the offset, I have to call IForged and find out. I do have a 10mm spacer in the rear as I like a little poke! :) Tires are 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 with only the fenders inner lip rolled up (fenders not pulled or rolled out)

[e36widelip]

I scored a set of iforged aeros... 19x8 et 41 19x10.5 et 38 with some 235/275, also fitted on z3m.

[A4RingedONE8T]

Nice! et38 was definitely not made for the rear of a Z3M. My rear wheels are around et5-10 in the rear, I still need to call Iforged and get the exact offsets

Here's some new pictures from today

Love the wheels and fitment but im not feeling the black centers. they need to be silver i thinks. still super nice though. I cant imagine what a set of wheels like that cost. But then again i am poor.:( lol

[highboostingm3]

The dish does everything for your car. Major transformation! :buttrock

[busterhax]

You could get some epic concavity with that car...

[raoke]

paint the entire caliper in m colors

I'm not typically a fan of black wheels either however I think they may look too big in a brighter color. I do intend to change the color so we'll see how they look, I have a few ideas

Thanks! Every guy loves big lips! :stickoutt

In the rear most definitely, I'm not so sure it would fit the car that well though?


paint the entire caliper in m colors

That would surely be interesting (and a little difficult)!
