Amazing how wheels can change the entire look...

4 sets of wheels, 4 distinctive looks. This BMW 328i resides in Palm Beach, Florida. The owner, TJ Lathrop, has done an excellent job in selecting wheels that are unique, tasteful, and innovative to the BMW scene. He's able to pull off 18x10s to 16x8s with perfect execution.

The one that got away

This is a clean example of a 1991 BMW 318is on some 15x7in Epsilon 3 piece wheels. The car rides on Ireland Engineering Stage 3 springs and Bilstein sport shocks. You all may look at it and think its not low enough. Well you're right it can always be lower. But just look at how clean it is. My friend who formerly owned this car kicks himself in the ass everyday for getting rid if it.

Its a custom shade of British Racing Green

What we have here is a 1995 BMW M3 in a daring shade of British Racing Green. The car belongs to Paul, a very good friend of mine. As you can see the car is subtly modded.

Fitment:
Koni coilovers

17x8.5in et13 BBS RS

205/40r17 Yokohama Parada spec 2 tires

GC Race Camber plates

Turner adjustable rear camber arms.

I'm doing this for a couple of reasons:

First and foremost is I control the content. I'm tired of looking around on forms and having to go through countless threads of pure garbage in order to find a diamond in the rough. Anything I find worthy of reposting will show up here.

Second, too many people clog up threads with questions about the specs on the cars posted. I like seeing the specs within the first post. Any car posted here will have specs up front.

Lastly, I feel I have a lot to say about cars. If you'd like a brutally honest opinion about your car please feel free to email me. I'll critique it for everyone to read.
