nah, just gona mount some tires that will fit properly and not be outside of our rolling diameter. These are 285/35...too fat and the wheel specs dont help either. When are you going to come out of hiding and post some pictures of your ride? Point and shoot cameras work just fine.

Hahahahaha just for you Mex, I'll get some up sometime soon. Sheer laziness always get the best of me.

What are the specs on the wheels? You're on to talk! You didn't even post a full pic of the wheel!

That looks great! Dark enough that it looks like a deep dark cherry in direct sunlight, but not blacked out. Well done!

Thanks guys. I thought about cutting out the signal & reverse lights but being that a lot of peeps do that, I just wanted the whole light covered.

Well its a black car in spring...so its constantly being s*** on by birds and turning a light shade of green/yellow from pollen.

Washed the old M37 down and dried it off. And my anxiety melted away.

Preferred the original finish but I may be biased. I've never been a fan of all black wheels.

The weather sure is getting better here making it easier to work on my M.

Those Megan blue tips are sweet! Definetly need a pair of those.

The bottom rear was wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl. I don't have any direct head on pics but I will take a few this weekend when I give her her weekly cleaning.

I just purchased & mounted some new rotors, pads and wheels. I'll post those pics later on to get everyones opinion.

Installed Brakemotive rotors, painted calipers & mounted my newly purchased x33 20" Gun Metal wheels wrapped on Toyo Extensa HP tires ready for the summer. I thought that by replacing my 19" OEM sport wheels the wheel gap would be much shorter but that wasn't the case. I really need to get some springs and lower this badboy. Let me know what you all think..
