Who cares if your wheels are worth more then his? You just said you can't afford to re-drill the wheels so you're obviously living outside of your means. I don't care if you car handles well or not, it's not about having race cars it's about having cars that function well on a day to day basis and that don't look like loose butthole (which I happen to think you car looks like). It sure sounds like you like VW's a lot and don't care about performance so why not get a VW? It'd be cheaper and you'd probably be able to afford to re-drill whatever wheels you want, and if everyone at BMW meet is a prick why have one?
You're the one that comes off like a prick, you come out of the gate wanting hate and you got it now sack up and accept it.
Hahahaha yes fiends for running wheels that are of another bolt pattern, what douche bags!
And no adapters don't really have a play on these wheels whether they are worth more or less, that's only if I sell to bmw crowds only.
So a square setup with 275s all around is gonna get me to work, school, meets, etc... differently than stretched tires and wide wheels how?
If I redrilled then they'd sit sunk and ghey like most of people's setups here...im sorry but when my wheels sit 5'' inside my fender with bulky tires I don't think that looks good.
But hey somehow your 255s or whatever meaty setup you're running gets you places a lot better than my setup will right?

What's the specs on your Futuras, they must be super skinny? I'm running 18x9s et 21 and 18x10s et32 on my e36 with proper tire, and believe me or at least look at the pic in the sig, they don't sit 5" inside my fender wells.
I guess proper meat flush isn't a popular concept with the stance crowd, but it's the best of both worlds IMO.

Definitely not my style... so what happens when you come to a speed bump?
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
I assume he means 'cheapo' in that they are generic parts made to fit an application. It looks like Fortune Auto is the new 'awesome adjustable rebuildable USA' coilover to hit the market.
If one had a business and wanted a private label. One only needs to contact BC Racing and pay your bill. You can have DooDooSlammed coilovers if you want. Just need to buy enough stock and they will private label. With that said you could have just hopped on eBay and it appears spend close to half of the 1600 and gotten Yellow DPS. Or heck just get the parent company's BC Racing. They are 1K.
Now are they going to break off and kill you? Probably not. Will they ride down the road. Yup. Will they slam he car? Obviously yes. Performance wise? That is more of a debate.
It's your car. Share it. Don't reply to the other people. It's such a simple solution but never followed.
I think the rear looks a little high. Do they go any lower? ;-)
I can say I'm not a fan of it. I can appreciate a nice stanced M3, but yours isn't doing it for me. I think it's because of how low the rear is.. or the low/tire combo.. idk.
Hopefully your new setup will change that a bit. Good luck OP

On a serious note I will say this; even though I don't like the way it looks in it's current state and would never slam my own car like that, I'll save final judgement for when the OZ's are mounted. I will also go a step further to say I AM glad people are doing different shit with their cars, love it or hate it. If everyone did the same shit I would have no reason to click on these threads to see what people are doing.
The bottom line is these are just cars. People need to chill. As someone else mentioned, not your car, not your money and you won't be driving it...

Poor people
Um because your car is so beaned out it can't make it over speed bumps, driveways, cracks, etc. So yes his car will get you to school much better then your car.
I'll just leave these here and you'll see why I mod my car the way I do, my car got 3k miles put on it this year, it has one purpose at the moment.
Car doesn't get driven daily, or at all really right now, because I have a bunch of shit to fix from when the it was low, too low for poopy local roads. (oil pan leak, shot bushings, f*cked off alignment, torn axle boots) but yeah he could go right on ahead and take it to the track, all you gotta do is crank the coils up and since aparently fortunes are better coils than I thought them to be, they might hold up ok. That or he overpaid for them.
Last I checked fortunes were about $400... There is a good chance that I'm wrong here, though.
Lowered, yes, they look SOOO much better. but this whole crazy 'stanced' thing now with stupid camber, undersized tires, oversized wheels, and it being suddenly cool to take out oil pans and stuff is just a bit too far. No way lowering a car will go out, or upsizing wheels and rolling fenders to make them fit I just personally see the "poke tuck stretch hellaflush" thing dwindling away.
Just do people like me a favor, the guy that might buy the car from you and not want the whole stance thing, and make sure you take car of things like bushings and axle boots. Maybe get a skid plate (or just drive carefully if you choose to keep it that low) so you dont crack the oil pan and rape the subframe... This actually isnt something for other people... it'll save you a massive headache and wallet-ache down the road.

Whatever makes you happy. If moding a car to fit in with your mates makes you happy.. power to ya. just seems like backward engineering to me.
This forum is hilarious.
I was hoping to see pics of those OZ Futaras mounted. Though I did get some serious lolz from this thread so it all balanced out.
