here are some pics of my car... 18" Mille Miglia Spider 5x112 et35 Wrapped in 225/40/18 Dunlop SP Sports (everything seats up perfect. 2mm isn't enough to make a difference apparently)

Thanks for the compliment! I miss the days of the tinted headlamps and tail lights. I'm contemplating putting them back on the car, but might wait until spring.

I can't agree more on the calipers...I hope to get this done this weekend...or maybe this week if I can borrow my buddies garage. Nothing crazy...just silver!
Yeah, I hear that. My Aero looks fairly low to the ground already, I like how it sits, and my spoiler is still intact I will probably do suspension bushings, and maybe a brace, GS has a good one I think. I may need to take a trip up there and ask them to install that stuff. It's hard to get a response from them via email though. Why have email on your webpage if you don't respond ? I'm still waiting for a response to my questions about an exhaust, maybe I'll wait on that.

i was iffy on lowering my car for well over two years.. granted i didn't have the slightly lower aero suspension, but the front end of the car is way too high off the ground.

i would suggest you guys consider it .. it's easily my favorite mod to the car thus far for its looks and performance. it was also a pretty easy job with a friend and the right tools.

whiterob,

If you were to show me these wheels not mounted on a car I would probably say no.

BUT, they look great on your car and something about them really compliments the 9-3. Nice job!

thanks for the compliments, I am and always have been kind of a wheel whore. only had those on for two weeks, then traded for some 19's but they only have a 56mm hub so need to get them drilled out 10mm (no removeable hubcentric ring.) not planning on keeping them on long as they are chrome and not really my style, but just want to see how it looks. I am looking into a few other wheels that will definently be a little more euro than most guys go. (I have had 26 VW's so am kinda stuck in the german thing hehe)


anyways here are the 19's. post your opinions, and don't worry about hurting my feelings as I am not the biggest fan of chrome, but held them up to my car and it actually looks surprisingly not too blingy

thanks guys

I think these images are a bit too large. Could you resize them a little smaller because they don't fit in the viewfinder of my microscope. Thanks mate!

Well I like the design and shape of the wheel, but I think the chrome and the little bolts are awful. But hey, that's just my opinion.
