Hey there!

Writing from South Africa... I was bored with my wheels... wanted to be different... but still keep stock look...

what do you think? It takes a little while to load...

AprilWhine · Oct 6th, 2002, 06:24 AM

They look very nice! And you weren't kidding about taking a while to load. I have cable modem connect, and it still took a few seconds to see the pictures.

CUTiger3 · Oct 6th, 2002, 07:46 AM

Yes, they look very good.

I think Damo's going to love them!

Tell us more!

They are unique...

interesting... what did u do? But I think I like the regular silver ones better.

looks great, almost resembles the chrome shadow rims on the the current M3 and M5. As others have said, tell us more on how to get that finish on the rims please!

with the shadows it almost matches the alloy patina interior of the S's

I REALLY like those...how did you do it??

I'm going for a stock "racer" look... I took the wheels to a wheel-repair service and requested the same color as the dash...

My old-man is looking for a triple-chrome finish on his wheels... it'll look AWESOME on his BLACK COOPER-s!!!

I really like that look of the wheels. Like someone mentioned, it resembles the 'Chrome Shadow' of M-style wheels (and the Type-R wheels on my car

)
