Default Serious Lip Action! maybe too much lip :-)

Dont really like these wheels, but had to share these lips! 20x10 in the front with 4" lip, 20x14 in the rear with 8" lip!

IMO, too much of a good thing, but to each his own!

Oh crap D!! Really? Remember how you were saying to me that you think you spend more time at E46Fanatics than me? Well you are man! LOL! I was talking to a fellow BMW friend last night and he was telling me about that guy who is doing the wide body kit. (Since I am mostly here at CL and almost NEVER at Fanatics anymore, I know absolutly nothing about this guy and his most "ambitious" endeavor).

From what I understand, he's intending to put those wheels on a 325Ci! That's just plain retarded! First off the largest circumference wheel you can fit on an E46 3 Series without doing MAJOR modifications is 19". Now he wants to put on not just a 20" wheel... he wants to put on a 20x14!!!!! He will HAVE TO cut into his spare wheel well in the trunk in order to fit that wheel properly. If it is in his mind (and I hear it is) that since he's putting on a wide body kit, he does not have to cut into the spare wheel well and can just use a wheel spacer to fit that wheel and it will be cool, he's got one heck of another thing coming! He is going to bend the life out of his axels if he tries to pull that off without doing major modifications to that trunk!

From what I hear, he is not going about his mods in a very intelligent way all around. I guess he just wants to e very different at the expense of ruining his ride. Guess it's just gonna be a "show" car... "Show" how to trash your fine automobile.

Oops! Looks like I might have spoken too soon... the friend who told me about that 325Ci last night told me that he was just going to slap on a wide body kit and fit those wheels with spacers, but I went to Fanatics and found the thread and read the whole thing. It looks likr this is going to be a PROJECT so it is not as half-hazard as it was explained to me. In truth, it looks like a worthy project too... except, I still think those wheels are FUGLY!
