Default New wheels on my Is, 19's

Hey guys just wanted to share a couple of pics of my car with some new wheels.

On BC racing CoilOvers dumped!! I raised up a lil over an 1"




BBS REPS






Pretty flush not all the way down yet though still sitting on the lift


I had a buddy help me with this one we never done it so we went gentle on it.

Here it is I say it looks good, the plan now is to to roll/pull the fenders a bit more and tuck some more tire.

Rolled/pulled is different than cut/shaved. Cut/shave is to actually remove material from the quarters or fenders as opposed to rolling it flat and pulling it out.
