White is superior only after Montego Blue. Nice choice.

Del Sol VTEC wheels. i picked them up for cheap pretty beat up, and spent about 25 hours refinishing them and polishing the lips. unfortunately, with winter coming here in a couple months, i'm switching to steelies+allseasons and selling the wheels. i'll have a fancy set of 13x5.5" +15 1983 BMW 320iS BBS wheels with some fancy tires mounted come spring! 8)

here's some pics of the set i had before, i miss them so much. it sat perfect on 205/60/13's in the rear, but needed 195's or 185's in the front so it wouldn't rub. i had to run a 5mm spacer up front to clear the brakes!

also, im trying to find a header for it, but i'm just not satisfied with anything that's available over this side. i'd like something with LONG primaries and shorter secondaries with a nice collector that comes to about the same length as the stock piece+cat, or something that has SUPER long primaries and terminates in a nice 4-1 collector or merge collector. i adore header technogy, especially after my last car, a 2002 Acura RSX Type-S. after i installed the race header on that car, it transformed it completely!

if anyone has any leads on a header of my description, PLEASE let me know soon!

chrisnick · 08-04-2006, 11:22 AM

sorry about that, they should be fixed now!

Bryan · 08-04-2006, 11:30 AM

Quite alright

Those wheels are nice. It's a shame you had to run the spacer and that they're not wider, eh?

IsThatGuy · 08-04-2006, 03:01 PM

hey what part of ohio? Medina here!

JamesCameron1 · 08-04-2006, 03:01 PM

I've been hunting for those BMW BBS rims forever! I was gonna refinish them with a wider chrome lip and colour the rest bronze.

chrisnick · 08-04-2006, 04:08 PM
