    New rims, nothing fancy

    As some of you may remember I cracked two of my rims last fall. Since then I've been riding on my stock rims.



    For the winter, I had some Nitto snow tires which I was actually very impressed with. In the spring, I put on my Falkens which suck, but they have lasted quite a long time (almost 45k miles).

    A few weeks ago I found a set of Enkei MM2s which were in bad shape. Bought the rims with tires for cheap, sold the two good tires on Craigslist, and basically got the rims for about $100.

    Like I said, they needed alot of work.





    The lips on all the rims were just torn up. Two of the rims had some mild curb rash.

    After some sanding...



    During the sanding, I ordered some Nitto Neo Gens. I know they are only good for 25-30 miles, but thats perfect, because the car will hit 200k miles in 28k. (Time to sell)



    So I went to my local auto parts store, bought some wheel paint, and rattle canned these rims.



    More to come soon. ;)

    Oh, the bumper is going to be put back on soon, too.

    Looks good I like that style of rims those n the 5 star. I was thinking of fixing up my stock rims but not sure to paint them a different color.

    I think they'll look pretty good Pete. I'll tell my brother. He's been going crazy talking about how he's been wanting to buy your car the past few months, knowing that you were talking about selling it for awhile.

    The wheels look good Pete and you did good on the paint. Put them on already. Quit polishing your sausage.

    Thanks guys. I will be putting them on in the next couple of day, along with the bumper.

    Matt - You will be the first to know when the time comes to sell my car. :)

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    They do, plus I've heard good reviews about them.

    But yeah, I've had the car for five years. Five great years, but by winter, it will be time to move on. I make enough cash to have bought an Evo by now, but really I've just loved my car, plus I'm getting older and out of the game. Its time for a newer M3 for me. :)

    I'm pretty happy with em, no complaints. Not super hard to get em to lose grip in the rain though, but I like em.

    Naw, the pic is a little deceiving. If I add a spacer, I might rub even with rolled fenders.

    Thanks, road noise isn't bad for the day I've had them haha! And I bought a G because it looked like a BMW but was cheaper. ;)
