Lots of photos of my 94 Q

[rudefyet]

Took a butt load of pics a few weeks ago, here's some of the ones I thought were the best.

looks beautiful..... wish mine would look as clean as that

[slybydesignq45t]

Really impressive. Great job on the detailing.

[maxnix]

Wonder which dealer installed wheels those are? They seem different than mine.

[Q451990]

That's a fine looking Q! Neat looking backdrop too - is that your estate? Looks cool and comfortable compared to our 100+ degree humidity-laden week here in Columbia. I think I could do some serious cigar smoking and Scotch drinking on that deck.

The wheels aren't stock, they're 16" BBS wheels, which as I've found out are impossible to find center caps for that don't have a BMW logo. Hopefully picking up some 18"s next month.

It's not really my esate, I rent it with a few others, but we're pretty deep in the hills and have 5 acres of forest surrounding the house that is part of the property. Been mid 80s here the past week, but it's great sitting out on that deck at night or in the late evening, especially since we have lots of bats around who eat all the bugs that would normally annoy me.

Looks like the car just came from the showroom. Beautiful job. Just proves that the Q is classic design. I predict that in 50 years, the Q will be a sought after classic auto that commands a high price, and if they're cared for, most of the Q's on the road today, will still be on the road. Isn't it nice that there aren't all that many (compared to Lexus, for example) on the road.

Very nice.

[elwesso]

Looks good.. I always loved the black Qs with Q45t spoiler. I might suggest putting one of those on!!

[dasoupdude]

Not a big fan of open window shots, but your ride is mega clean.

[djazzmo]

Looks really classy. Someone else on the forum is attempting to paint the grille black but looking at your pics I can't understand why anyone would do that. The crome grille adds elegance to the look in my opinion. Oh well to each his own.

Looks amazing bro. Hope to see some mods. Here are a few ideas on 18's, depending on your taste, and Brian's love for stockies.

18" Murano wheels, polished with inlays painted black. 245/45/18.



You might ask Wes (elwesso) what his are.

[rudefyet]

Since you brought it up, I was actually thinking about these.



Oh and thanks for all the comments, it's really not that perfect, you can still see some scuffs, and other marks on the bumpers, not from me, but from the last owner I'd guess.

[jltibbs]

Eh, those look ok. Why not go for the same look only sliver instead of black. That would be reminiscent of what you have now, only baller. Be sure to get some 18 x 9.5 in the rear and 18 x 8.5 in the front.

[jltibbs]

Here are a couple of more options. You can click on pic to see price and sizes. Update us on what you get bro!

Here's a few other ideasM45 19's (photochopped, would need spacers)

Plain Murano 18's

350Z (forged) Rays Track Wheels 18's

OZ Racing Opera II 18's

BBS (forged) RGR 18's

Old OZ Racing 6 spoke 17's

I think that's all the ones I still have the pictures

You might ask Wes (elwesso) what his are.

Hey, I like eighteenies too! Just have to see some ID, if you know what I mean.

I like eighteen inch wheels because I can mount PS2.

[maxnix]

The JDM BBS are very nice and great wheels, just not as light as the other one piece forged or even cast BBS wheels.

[maxnix]

The forged BBS RGR are so cool.

First dibs if you ever want to sell them.

I thought Wes was busy studying and working 10 hour days at an internship this summer? This is a little different "education" than the one he told us he was getting.

The wheels aren't stock, they're 16" BBS wheels, which as I've found out are impossible to find center caps for that don't have a BMW logo.

Beautiful Q BTW. It's got to be killing you not to be able to find a nice center cap.

I think Brian is starting to soften up or his vision is not what it was a few years ago when I joined NICO. He didn't mention the missing fog light trim.

[elwesso]

OZ Racing F1.. 18x8 +35 front, 18x9 +45 rear. Fitment is PERFECT with 245-45F and 275-40R.

Goody, maybe you see why I "turned down" the internship at aerojet...

[maxnix]

What trim? The foglight just mounts on the bracket and is framed by the bumper cover.

[paranoidjack]

I love the second picture, low rear shot. The car really has a beautiful profile, aged but timeless.

[goody90q45]

Sorry to jack the thread.

I'm referring to the small silver colored piece to the right of the fog light in the pic. They're tough to find at salvage yards and cost $35-$40 through Joe (I've had to buy 2). It's there mostly just to cover the mounting bolt and adjustment screw. Not many Q's that I see driving around town have both sides intact.

[maxnix]

Oh, the screw covers. Too many try to go in from the front instead of from behind and underneath. Thus they get destroyed if the rocks don't get them.

[Jesda]

I hope you used the parking brake!

[qship96]

I got both from joe for about $50 awhile ago, they seem to not be able to survive removal to get to hardware in order to change foglamp bulb..the plastic clips on the backside of the trim pieces become brittle and break upon removal.I wonder if a little silicone aquarium sealer would hold damaged ones in place? Most q45 I see have them missing- certainly looks better with them in place{but a non-essential item for those owners in survival only mode}

[qship96]

Who is the young lady in the NICO shirt??? A fellow Q owner possibly?

[Rex]

I have to say, Wes' have a great (non-stretched/non-cambered) fit.

The forged BBS RGR are so cool.

First dibs if you ever want to sell them.

If you're really interested, they can easily be available. They have a new home



I know you're not a afan of the Yoko's on them, so shoot me an email of what you think is a fair price for the wheels alone.

Here's a few other ideasPlain Murano 18's

Heh, looks familiar. I hope you like the new look Keith. (Refer to sig)
