At last!

AndyR83 · 09-10-2012, 12:13 PM

After weeks of contemplating what I should get, a few more weeks of setting aside money for a purchase, and then what seemed like forever waiting for them to arrive (stupid holiday last week slowing everything down! It didn't REALLY take them a long time to send them... it just always feels that way when you're waiting for a new toy, right?)... they're here

nothing like that "kid on Christmas morning" feeling you get when you come home and find this on your front step.

Just sharing my excitement, this was a long time coming!

I had some tires and new rims shipped to Germany and one was damage en route of course. So I'm waiting on the new rim.

What kind of tires, and size are those?

marshall834 · 09-10-2012, 12:36 PM

Wheels? Or just tires? Either way

AndyR83 · 09-10-2012, 12:51 PM

Wheels and tires. The tires are Hankook Vantus V12's 19x9.5 fronts 19x10 rears. The wheels are a fairly well known design but in a new finish that I believe came out not too long ago.

marshall834 · 09-10-2012, 12:58 PM

Nice!

Being in PA, did you get All-Season tires? Reason I ask I am contemplating having two sets of tires - one for winter (with stock wheels) and rest for the remaining part of the year.

AndyR83 · 09-10-2012, 01:24 PM

The new ones are max performance summers. Im putting blizzaks on the stock wheels.

Here goes...

BMW_Belgier · 09-10-2012, 01:28 PM

Good luck

upstatedoc · 09-10-2012, 01:43 PM

pics of the rims?

AndyR83 · 09-10-2012, 02:22 PM

Don't mind my dirty car! It's been raining here all week. I've been wanting to give the car a full detail, but it seemed pointless in the middle of storms. I took the aero lip off too, installing m3 rep front bumper this week.

VMR v710's in dark gunmetal! 19x9.5 fronts with 19x10 rears. It's been a long time coming. I'm so happy to finally have them

Might look a bit nicer with a drop, but I have to drive this car in the winter and the roads here suck, so I can't justify lowering the ride height at all. Still, I'm very happy with the look!

Yeah, respraying the trim black and wrapping the roof black this week hopefully. I would also like to get a nice performance cross drilled/slotted rotor package now that the discs are so much more visible. I don't really think dropping 3k on a full BBK is in order, but a few hundred on nice looking rotors and throwing performance brake pads on while I'm at it wouldn't hurt.

Thanks! My first goal was to eliminate all the yellow, so I replaced the reflectors, side marker lights, turn signals, went with the full blackout headlight paint job, and got rid of the annoying "always on" yellow LED. Going for all white lights and all black accents. I'm hoping the roof wrap and trim being sprayed tie it all together.

Like it!!

bmwforme · 09-10-2012, 05:48 PM

the rims look great! not flat black! a nice dark gun metal i love it!!

to be honest.. next mod... update to LCI tail lights, that would make the back look a lot more fresh and they are just all around really nice lights on the E92s. I know its a lot of work cause I think you have to change out more than just the lights and do some coding.. but I think it would be well worth it.. just my $0.02

AndyR83 · 09-10-2012, 05:57 PM

Agreed, that's on my list. I have literally got a PILE of parts collecting dust waiting to be installed. M3 rep front bumper, m3 rep skirts, 8000k xenon bulbs and cornering bulbs to make the rest of my headlights match the OSS rings, all the parts to be "FBO" (DCI, scoops, big intercooler, DP's, chargepipe, BOV)

LCI tails is one of the only things left on my wish list, along with M3 rep or Mtech rear bumper. Now I just need the time to get it all on the car!

I just ordered a neat vanity plate too. Hoping to get the plate and all those mods installed and do a full detail, then have a proper photo shoot!

2ndname · 09-10-2012, 06:38 PM

Nice! Those are the exact ones I wanted. May I ask how much you paid for them shipped to your doors?
