What rotors are you using? I have BBK OEM and the dimples make a very annoying ticking noise at speed. Looking for other options when it's time to replace.

Rotors are Powerstop. Have had no issues with them so far and no noticeable noises.

Good to know thanks. Was thinking either those to stoptech when I'm due.

Looks good! How did you attach it in the middle, the two tiny holes? I used two self-tapping screws but it popped out after a few days, someone suggested plastic rivets that expand inside.

Thanks! I tried the plastic expanding rivets at first but they ended up pulling through. so I bought some washers, nuts and bolts to keep it attached. I've heard many people have success with the plastic rivets though so it's worth a shot trying that first.

How did you get the nuts to hook on to the other side of the bolts? Did you have to remove the front bumper for that?

Got some new wheels!

Went with the Konig Ampliform 18" in Gunmetal grey.

vooonoo · 07-18-2019, 08:54 PM

Dropped mine off for some kind of steering box/rack recall. Something about the bolts coming undone. We'll see how this goes

RMachuca3d · 07-18-2019, 10:06 PM

Gave it a good shakedown, took it like a champ.

Bath time!

In the middle of detailing now, damn it's hot, but here's a pre-wash photo of the new wheels and tires. Vorsteiner VFF105 in a custom silver with AS3+. Austin at Vivid Racing was a big help and Thompson handled the install for me.

DrifterX · 07-19-2019, 09:09 PM

Bought an F15 touch screen; can't wait to install it and enable full screen CarPlay

bimmerluver · 07-19-2019, 11:11 PM

Looks great. I noticed you deleted the reflectors. Love the pop the calipers provide!

Thanks. That car (along with F23) will be at Radnor Hunt Concours Motorsport park. Think Sept 8 - if you haven't been def check it out really fun day in the country.

Ok, I will. I know DelVal CCA had their event around or at that place? Maybe I'll bring the F31 too.
