I looked outside and saw a huge rainbow, so I decided to take my camera and shoot a few pics. BTW, this is the dirtiest the car has ever been, so please take no notice of it :stickoutt

They're not the best pics because my SD card was full, so I had to set the camera to crappier quality.

The chrome grilles are on only until I can find some time to colourmatch my stock ones sitting in my garage.

My fog fell out on the highway :( and broken bumper mod :(

ENJOY! :D

Damn dude, every time I see your car I just wanna get myself those rims.. I know they are replicas but... How much did you pay for them? Did you buy them from OCW?

Thanks Sue ;)

BMW_7, yup, they're from OCW. Awesome wheels. I'd picked them out even before I got the car :stickoutt

749 + S&H. I highly recommend dealing with OCWheelwurx. Great experience. I just could not justify spending upwards of $3000USD for authentic ACS for a daily driver 325i.

Thanks man, how much do you think they weigh? Are they good quality, any bends?

I hear you on that one, If Im lucky I can get original ones under 2 g's used. I particularly like the Type III (non-bolts version) so I really wanna hold out for those.

I just don't wanna be kicking myself in the ass in a few years :embarrasm

I think they are rated at something like 22lbs. Yeah, my other choices were the ACS Type III non-racing (without bolts) or M-Parallel reps. Sometimes I wish I had gone with the other type III, but then I walk in my garage and love my car again.

They seem to be great quality, no bends as of yet. I live in Surrey/North Delta and there are some terrible roads here, so no bends is a strong statement :stickoutt

I've got some curbrash on them from when I first got them on, but that's because of the aggressive offset (et35). They stick out quite a bit farther than the stock rims. But they have no nicks or scratches etc. from the general driving environment.

Thank you Sir :) How big is the lip on those wheels of yours? They look great.

adamnur

The lip is only about 1.5", but the bolts make it look much larger :stickoutt

I live in Surrey/North Delta and there are some terrible roads here, so no bends is a strong statement :stickouttHeh? Is it ND or is it Surrey? Can't have both. :stickoutt

BTW, nice pics. :)

Absolutely suberb pics.

adamnur

Thanks.

lol, I saw a 10 minute gap in when there was just a drizzle, so I went out and snapped some before I would be washed back in the house by rain :stickoutt

I do live in ND, but I drive in Surrey a lot, so I say I live in both places haha.

I can't wait until I can colourmatch the kidneys. If I don't like that, I might paint them black or something. :dunno But I can't stand this weather. So far that rainbow is the only thing that's been colourful around here in the last couple weeks :shifty

that is amazing. The rainbow is incredibly clear. I tried to take some pics of rainbows that I saw while I was on vacation in Hawaii, and they didn't turn out nearly as clear.

Wait...u live in ND??? :confused thats funny i live there too :buttrock never seen ur car around though :(

adamnur
11-07-2005, 07:54 PM
Yup, just moved here about 3 months ago. Is your ride modded? I've seen a black E36 coupe with 18's and euro clears, but that's it around here. But I've seen plenty of old ass cars sittin' on 24" chrome :rolleyes :stickoutt

Awesome pics adam. I vote for updated wide black kidneys instead of color-matched green.

Oh yes. Love them rainbow pics. Freaky how we both have rainbow pics and type IIIs (though I must take credit for being the first type III rainbow-er) :D Nice pics man!

North Delta kicks ass man, ppl from the city like to knock it as the "boonies" but most of them havent even seen the place.

so there's at least 3 bf.c members in ND now? rofl, i've yet to see any of you guys on the road

adamnur

Thanks a lot guys. Yup, my car's Boston Green. Eventually I'd like to get the wide black grilles, but I'm saving up for a front bumper right now. :)

lol, i know man. I haven't seen any other nicely modded E36s around here. I'm lovin' ND though, great place. One of these days, we'll all be parked at the same parts store, and we won't have a camera :stickoutt
