I used the Tein HA coilovers to lower the car.

Offsets were +45 front and rear.

Looks sick.


So let me get this straight... You sold your E46 M3 for the GS?

How come?

I am curious about this as well. I really love the M3 and have honestly thought about getting one recently. I would like to know how they compare for you?

Dang, +45 front and back....good luck trying to fit BBK on there....nice wheels though.

Man, I can totally see someone doing +20ish front and back on that wheels and having the spokes curved in because of the low offset.....skyline GTR style....

that's what i am thinking too. 9 and 10, both 45, that's not very aggressive. seeing the spoke design, i am not sure bbk in the front? just curious

beez43-if you are looking for Work wheels in Hawaii. Talk to HI98GS....he can help. Hawaii's work wheels distributor is a good friend of mine and HI98GS' and got these for me.

Why change from M3 to GS. Buy House #2. The M3 was awesome and I loved to drive it, but investing into property will hopefully be a better financial decision!!

I will double check the offset but not too aggresive and supposed to be able to fit BBK or at least the Supra TT brakes.

Looks great. I like the look of the SL's on your GS. From the sound of it, I am sure you will be not be the only one sporting these. BTW- do you have any more pics of the SL's on your car?

Cant go wrong with real estate. I would never sacrifice my financial future for my car or mods. You can always get another one in addition to your GS when you make money off your investment
