She said it was unpleasant. Fitment problems are terrible! It would be comparable to say, putting "thuddy toos" on a otherwise stock 320i.

Gotta make sure the offset and circumference are appropriate for the fenderwell. Otherwise the fit is too tight and you can't get the wheel all the way in. It sucks when you can't get the wheel all the way in!

While all of us do love a nice, tight fitment, sometimes it gets unpleasant for both the wheel well and the wheel. Later on, more time is spent dealing with that...even if you have to find a less aggressive option, fitment is key.

I don't even know what you guys are talking about anymore, lol!

All I know is it's like that scene in Apollo 13 when Jack Swigert's trying to get the lunar module back on course.

Next on the list is to fill license plate holes and switch out zinc bolts for chrome plated ones. Call it OCD, but I can't stand the slight blue tint of zinc coated bolts.

which bolts? engine bay?

blue tint = Cool Ranch (just keeping it on track)

Wheel lug bolts. I switched from black to silver to match the LM rivets, but hate the bluish hue of the zinc coating. It's another shade of silver that's introduced to the wheel. It's subtle but it bothers me, lol.

sounds like its time for stud conversion, I think I might do that when I finally get wheels

Yeah I def thought about it and like it a lot. Sedan's conversion looks awesome with his wheels. BBS makes a stud kit but only in 12x1.5. I'll probably wait until they make one for us at 14x1.25.

Have you shop around for quotation? I got quoted for $350 to fill license plate holes.

Justin's shop is going hook it up and to do it for $200. Very reputable shop. Need to leave car overnight. Swing by with us next week when I drop off my car and Justin picks up his front lip. His paint scheme on his lip is gonna be sick!

Hey bud, so I'm not going to get my bumper filled anymore. My local PD has been pulling a lot of people over for no plates and so with my wife sometimes driving my car, it's probably best not to delete my front plate. Ugh!

Get it done and get this:

You do have to cut out the plastic part, but replacement only cost $40.

Would be funny to see an officer to a double take after he pulls you over for no front plate and then you say yes I do.

[Dinh335]

LOL!

Just get the two hook mount man.

[Presario]

Thanks Dinh! Really appreciate it! Hit up Eric or Tam and Supreme Power for the absolute best price on BBS wheels. Since you're out of state, you'll save a bunch on tax as well.
