The Red Beast, A New Look

rzm3 · 07-25-2008, 05:35 PM

The beast gets ready for the winter! (and the other 3 seasons, using OE 18s for track)
Front: 19x8.5 255/35/19 Pilot Sport A/S ET 30
Rear: 19x9.5 275/35/19 Pilot Sport A/S ET 35 w/ 12mm spacer

Finding correct sized A/S tires for the M3 was the biggest PIA... In the end I had to buy Pilot Sport (the only ones available), and they cost as much as my wheels!

BTW should I use Breyton center caps or BMW?

Next step is black kidneys!

nice wheels. I would have gone grey or gunmetal for color though.

i like the breyton center caps... keep them... btw, already mounting a set of winter wheels?? winter's still a long time away!

Davinhci · 07-25-2008, 05:59 PM

car looks awesome good choice in the blacks, did you try both the center caps? Did you like the way the BMW caps look? I was thinking mabe finding black BMW caps to match?

!Xoible · 07-25-2008, 05:59 PM

just perfect. did u want to tint that or no?

DO NOT use BMW roundel for center cap. leave the ones that came with the wheels. that's a nonono

i am using this set (with A/S tires) for the street, and the OE 18s for the track

Nice wheels, thats two of us now then (3 - Davinchi?). I'm also using the OEM 18s for track. Croft on the 24th and Elvington soon after.

I have ditched alpine white. LOL I will be getting that color. its pure sex on wheels.

Big Windy · 07-25-2008, 11:59 PM

looks so awesome. both you and Leg have had great results with the breyton gts race. love that rim. looks so good in black and really contrasts with that cf roof! congrats!

ss109 · 07-26-2008, 08:18 AM

For the winter you should've got dedicated snow tires. Can't tell you how many times those things have saved my butt! Their traction in the snow is 1000% better than all-seasons. Regardless the contrast looks awesome!

d_dot · 07-26-2008, 08:35 AM

i dont really care for black rims but them shits look nice as hell !!! rldzhao what part of ny r u in?

lizak187 · 07-26-2008, 08:43 AM

PrinceSmooth · 07-26-2008, 12:04 PM

wow... i really like the outcome... nicely done... nice ride

Big Windy · 07-26-2008, 12:16 PM

yeah, i'm curious to see how those ps2 all seasons perform. i am not sure how bad the snow is there, but i would have thought to get some dedicated snows. either way, looks great.

i did consider snows but they come in very limited sizes. hence i picked a/s which is good all-around.

yamazaho · 07-27-2008, 09:44 PM

Wow nice wheel choice you have there, I want an M3 too!!!

monsta · 07-27-2008, 10:24 PM
