trust me you don't wanna see it up close. whoever owned the car before the person i bought it from MESSED UP THE FENDERS HELLA BAD. he like cut them for no reason. and rolled them with a hammer or something. it's horrible. i tried fixing it but it's all rough and jagged.

heat gun and a jack end to pull it a little, then you should do newspaper/phonebook method.

Those wheels are sick! And i like the car. My buddy has the same ones on his 3series... I was under the impression Miro made those BMW specific? I know the centercaps are the same size as OEM BMW ones so they pop in.

Wheels are just plain right. 20s? What are the offset and how did you get them to work? Website says only 5x120 bolt pattern. Glad you decided against removing the sunroof. Great work all around. If I had one criticism, it would be to go with a bigger rotor or 6 pot set up to fill out the wheels more. But definitely inspiring work.
BTW, how do you hanle reception after the factory antenna delete?

et is +20, and i'm running an adapter to make them fit. As far as the radio reception is concerned ..i dont really know because i never listen to the radio, lol. I only listen to 90's hip hop in the car so i usually have some Pete Rock & CL or Mobb Deep bumpin.
