My Mistress (M3 E36)

[fiekieM3]

Oops guys I forgot to add that, the tyres hav already been changed as I did not get the look I wanted with the 185's... 205/40 in the front 235/40 in the rear

much better size if you want the stretched look you need something around 185/55/17

I do want the stretch look yes, but it doesn't seem possible with the standard wheel, so until I find a wheel I'm happy with (throwings:inlove it's standard profile & lowering the coilies on the tyre

with that profile they wont look stretched on that wheel... wider wheel will get it

So it's been a while since I updated my thread, cos unfortunately progress on my ///Mistress has been slow, she is still @ the mechanic having the subframe and mounting arm problem sorted.

I do however have a small update, I have been on search for 1 of these for a while now & thanks to E30 Freak:ty: , he found 1 for a steel of a price, so I just had to get it:joy:

Before:

So as the above pics show, it needed a bit TLC, nothing a warm soft cloth couldn't fix and some elbow grease ofcos, and...

:inlove:

Will hopefully getting some more interior goodies in the next couple of days:joy:

Until then guys

Thanks for looking:thumbs:

nice carraise:i think you should try the 18" m3 wheel reps coz they are wider and bigger and would give the ideal stance

OEM is not always best if you are after a specific look. thanks for the Pic German spec yo car looks tops with the 18" i would never go back to the 17' on my car

 

[boost3d]

Yip the 18's gave her that oem+ kinda look!

I miss that car alot, i wish I hadn't sold her to be honest

 

[osiris]

Mmmmm after seeing your car German_Spec with the 18" in that pic I can definately see what you guys mean, it does definately look good!

 

[E30 Freak]

Fiekie's wheels is actually super gorgeous as he had them refurbed. My cuz has the 18's on his car, but there just something about that OEM wheel that just does it for me
