thats probably the "smartest" option of the 3 since I am going to school for art and would undoubtedly use the lenses for many many years to come.... however the other thing is that I might be able to get some extra $ in financial aid to help fund one of them so maybe I should think about only getting 1 at 1st.

we could paint them in flat black. i personally think all black wheels look bad unless the tire is dressed properly

i didnt like any of your option so im making my own. get #2 and #4 get the projectors so it will calm your bmw beast within you and get the lens to satisfy your picture taking beast. then youll have money left over, which will go to either 1 or 4 earlier than splurging all at once.

oh i agree... but I just mean that I don't like the shape of the M6's when they painted black... too much of the rotor shows because they are 5 spokes and if your rotor is dirty (which mine probably are) then it just looks bad... plus the nasty looking (and small) calipers. if I had Brembos that might be different but... I don't got the $6k for that either.
it they are the silver/gunmetal at least they kinda blend in with the brakes and rotors

hahahaha. well then I would probably do the wheels and just wait on the 2nd lens which I think was option #2

Word of advice about finincial aid...you have to pay it back. Your $1000 could end of costing you a lot more than that over the long run.

no i know that but its still an investment for me that when I graduate will kinda "pay for itself" since I'll be using it for a long ass time. Now if I took that money and used it for wheels, that'd be pretty stupid.

[UdubBadger]

anyone know a place (if I considered it) would paint my current wheels for a few hundred bucks?

[Nebster]

i'll paint your wheels for the cost of the spray paint. its really easy and if you do it right they can last forever

dude, i did it to my winters that way... that shit wears off REALLY fast. Plus to do flat black you either need to skip the clear coat (which really makes um scuff up quickly) or you need a flat clear coat which I couldn't find anywhere in a spray can.

yeah, I did that too... VHT high heat header paint... any auto part store carries it for like $10

SOLD!!!, next mod for my car. just gonna look up how to do it correctly.

[UdubBadger]

hahah it says right on the can, scuff with sandpaper (med grit) paint and let dry for 30 min... id do a few coats though... mine needs a repaint soon cuz I only did 1

I'll help you do it if you want to at the meet

[Nebster]

i did my old wheels in satin and it lasted for 2 years no problem. 3 coats and proper drying / curing and it turned out great

[UdubBadger]

alright well maybe I'll let you have another crack at it when I drop off my car to you in 2 weeks
