Polished the 3rd wheel this weekend. 12 hours hunched over and it is finally finished. Check it out next to the 4th and final wheel:  And a close-up of it.   Then I stopped in to the painter today and picked up the centers and caps. What do ya think? They'll look killer on our 330cic too.    __________________

j/k... I love it!! So sexy, so nice.. Will look great on the ti or on the e46. | Thanks James! Ok, I like purple. I really like my wife. And when my wife says, "you should paint them this color" (pointing at a lamp while eating at The Old Spaghetti Factory) I pay attention. The other night I went into her closet and picked out a blouse of hers that closely resembled the color she pointed out at dinner that night a few months ago. And what do ya know...I have killer lookin' wheels and got laid when I brought them home.  That's the way these wheels became burgundy.

Stopped by my local Discount tire this afternoon to price the Continental line-up and took interest in the Falken FK 452 215/45R-17. Any suggestions?

215/45's are too tall and will rub. You'll need 215/40's and a slight rear fender roll  I dig the color NICE WORK! | | | | | 10-17-2012, 04:15 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
Perfect. I will get 215-40's then. Thanks for the compliment Jesse.  __________________
