e92 with Custom Powdercoated VMR VB3's

Longboarder · 01-19-2011, 11:11 PM

Had this for about a year but haven't posted pics until now.

Wheels are VMR VB3's powdercoated Space Gray, just like the car's exterior. I think it looks nice with the saddle brown/aluminum interior. Wheels are 8.5" fronts and 10" rears with 235F/275R Nitto Invos. Lowered a bit on KW CC coil overs. Thanks to Bavarian X for helping with the setup. Also have Proceed v4 autotune set at 16.5psi target and RR dps.

Enjoy friends.

looks good, but I'd drop her a bit more

Thanks.

I don't like the Invo's. Very noisy above 50 mph, and they provide only marginally better traction than the stock runflats. I wish Goodyear still made the Eagle F1 GSD3.

ibeclueless · 01-20-2011, 08:27 PM

looks good

Stevenalicious · 01-20-2011, 11:59 PM

You are welcome. That's very surprising. I though they would be quiet being that they look like they are almost smooth without any thread.

V1_R · 01-21-2011, 04:09 AM

i love the look of the tyre!!!

I figured that would be the consensus, however I just wanted to drop the front an inch or so compared to stock. And to be perfectly honest, I actually RAISED the rear about an 1/8th of an inch. There's about a half inch clearance between the fenders and all four tires. I'm not into the slammed look...plus I have actually taken this thing off road a couple times so I can't go too low
