The pic above is actually a good pic! I like the design too. I would check Koya wheels as well as Cosmis wheels, both have the multi spoke design but not sure if they come in 19s.

Thanks Trev... I agree, black wheels can just merge into a shadow and the wheels then don't stand out. Ill check out the Koya and Cosmis as suggested. cheers buddy

Hahahhha when I said that... the emphasis was on lets start with (and work down from) seriously would not want to spend more than $4000 for rims and rubber tbh... so means a cheap new set or an more expensive used set

Thanks Duck, a set of custom rims would be unreal, but got a couple of other things I need to do to the car.... wheels will have to wait now

Mod 75 - Rolled Guards

Running 265s on the rear with a 5 mm spacer, means the tires rub when the boot is loaded up or when there are passengers in the back.

Became evident during the Tassie road trip, that the rear guards needed rolling, when one of the guys pointed out the branding on the side walls was gone lol

Lucky for me, Vince got a new toy recently and was happy to get more practice at guard rolling..... turned out perfect (nice work mate)

Pic 1 - Solid evidence of a rubbing problem
Pic 2 - Yoda's new toy
Pic 3 - Rolling in action

Nice socks, now that its done do the guards look pumped at all? or does it only roll the inner part of the guard flush

Very very slight flare to the outside, most of the flattening is of the inside edge which is about 45 degrees before rolling and flattens out to about 15 degrees
Vince did an awesome job

Mod 76 - Brake Vac line delete

Anyone who has installed the M3 cowl really needs to do this mod

The stock brake vac line is a solid pipe that runs across the engine bay, making it look sad and ugly...

The solution is to replace the hard pipe with some nice flexible braided hose and run the hosing along the cowl. The result a much neater and attractive engine bay

Once again big thanks to Vince
