Donny just added 2 inches to his...

rim size


Donny now has some 18 inch 179's on his E90, and is the first member to do so...

The rims look great on an E90, and this is the official thread to harass him until he posts pictures of them...

Enjoy them Donny!!!

Finally an e90post first by me!!


I love the 197s...they're awesome, they sit so well.

They actually ride smoother than my POS 156s...

On the way home from AJ's, a G35 coupe was trying to harass me into a little race. That sort of thing never happened with my 16 inchers

What an ordeal installing them. We were at it in the dark and in the rain. I'll probably come down with a cold, but everything was worth it

Anyways, some crummy pics...

Better pics to follow, after the painted front splitters come on.

Next mod would be the strut brace.

For some reason the ride is cushier with this set up. I like the way they dig into the low speed corners. They do tramline more though (understandably).

All that talk of "adding two inches" and "mounting in the rain" got me really scared for a second there...then I found out Donny has a members card to Night Dreams, and suddenly it all made sense...

God, I can't wait to really meet you guys...I was lacking something in my life before I bought this car and found this forum...now I know what that missing thing was...a bunch of crazy gear-heads with alcohol problems and sick senses of humor. You complete me.

Donny, they look great! Are you riding on summer tires (255 rear) now?

We need pics in sunlight.

And I thought that monthly subscription to the Maxiderm product finally paid off.

Wheels look good, btw.

Too early to tell, if only sam would give me back my pump, he's been hoarding it since last summer

The only reason I loaned it to him was because he needed it badly, I'm nice like that...

(too early in the a.m. for a KL2DC standard comeback, so I'll let this one slide)
