Default My new Advan wheels~!

Howdy members,

I wanted to share and to post a pic of my new wheels for the Viewing pleasure of my audience. It is not a great picture and was taken at night, so it's just a taste until I can snap some better pictures. They are hi-disc 19x9 front and 19x10 rear Advan Model 7 wheels in Gunmetal finish wrapped in Yokohama AVS Sport tires. I've been patiently waiting for these wheels and I'm personally pleased. Now all I need is coilovers and Supra brake conversion(Next Month).


Here is the quick and crude poor picture:

Yeah Abboushi, it's "designed" for most BMW's, but its more like a universal application. I got it for free from my uncle so I couldn't say no. He sold his M Coupe before he could put it on. On my SC, It was only experimental at the time and I decided to leave it on because it actually looks pretty cool(in my opinion). Here is another pic SW....

Thanks for the Comments guys.

I promise I'll keep you updated with the pictures. I have 245/40's in front and 275/30's in the rear. So far, no rubbing issues detected at any corner(Suprised),though I think this problem will surface when I drop the car. My only gripe with these wheels are that they don't have that lip. I got these wheels because they'll clear big brakes, they're 19" staggered, and I got them for a heck of a deal.

SW, the CF lip was ordered by my uncle through VIS here in Cali for the M Coupe/M Roadster. I'm pretty sure they can get you one if you'd like. Also, check out GTP international(Importfan.com) - they have a lot of cool Carbon Fiber stuff.

As for the headlights, both the high and low beams were put in the oven to open them up. Once they were painted, I just stuck them back in the oven and sealed it up with Silicon. No moisture issues thus far. For an experimental extra kick, I sprayed the high beams with the smoke spray directly onto the lenses. It came out alright because I need a clear coat on it so it would look smooth and not flat.
