Photo Shoot AW E92 M3 w/ 19" VMR V710s Solar Black

frankzlin79 · 10-17-2009, 06:23 PM

Finally, I had time to take pictures on a sunny day of my 19" VMR V710 from Pyspeed.com. The wheels were custom powder coated by Pyspeed.com in a color called Solar Black. Just PM or e-mail Eric and he'll set you up.

Yes, I know I need to lower the car...but in Houston, it's not practical or safe!

good job cleaning the car before taking the pics. stunning man

frankzlin79 · 10-17-2009, 06:37 PM

Thanks...you noticed...I did spend about 2 hours washing the car. What really stands out are the tires. I'm using a product made by Wheel Wax called Extreme Black for tire shiner. You can order it from EAS. This Extreme Black stuff is awesome and lasts for over a week.

they got to start making those in 20's. the ride is clean, cant wait to get my M....

rsmamg · 10-17-2009, 08:12 PM

that is very clean.. ive been wondering what PS2s look like on V710s. are those the oem PS2s?

also, i feel you on the lowering in houston. ive been debating whether or not i should also in los angeles. sometimes it just doesnt make sense given the roads i drive on daily. frustrating though

TLud · 10-17-2009, 08:14 PM

Looks damn good, man. I really like what you've done with your car over the last couple of months.

thesixsins · 10-17-2009, 09:00 PM

Nice Job!

I'd still say lower it tho...

PrePharm · 10-17-2009, 09:03 PM

Wow - it doesn't look bad at all without a drop!

Nice looking ride man!

frankzlin79 · 10-17-2009, 09:09 PM

Yes, those are the original PS2s...with about 11,000 miles.

deshields · 10-17-2009, 09:09 PM

Damn that is nice! I was actually just thinking about picking up a set today and you sold me

Love the Solar Black V710. Damn, may need to hit up Eric at PYSpeed next spring for those.

SHADY1 · 10-18-2009, 01:04 AM

I know how you feel about lowering the car in Houston.

oh my god I remember reading how the roads are messed up in Houston. I was driving on them at night time lots of pot holes big bumps and stuff on the road a real hazard to a lowered car like mine with a Hamann front lip. I don't even clear a soda can laying on its side or even if you step on a soda can standing straight up I won't clear it.

A VRS front lip like yours sits straight out so you will still be okay more like 50/50. But if you have a Hamann front lip like mine that goes straight down then you are F@#k%d and that's when you worry because, I don't clear the slightest driveways. Take a look at this pic with my M3 compaired to Blake's he has a VRS front lip and his car is not lowered and he lives in Dallas.

Thanks for posting your pics

I will be in the Houston area the first weekend in Dec. I would like to check out your car and meet some of you Houston guys in person. I will be back from Iraq by then

biglare · 10-18-2009, 01:47 AM

Car looks great!

I love the last pic!

frankzlin79 · 10-18-2009, 09:57 AM

SHADY1:: Your car is ultra low up front. How the heck do you ever get on a lift? Also, how do you get your car up on an alignment machine? Those alignment machine ramps are ultra steep. Also driveway entrances to shopping centers must be a nightmare for you, too.

In Houston, I tend to drive on the same roads every day. So, I've memorized which lane is safe to drive in and free of pot holes and unnecessary stumps in the road. I'm sure everybody on the forum memorizes all the road hazards in their local area.

it would be great to have 20" VMR but I doubt they or anyone else will do it for now as they would be extremely heavy

Do it! And you don't have to get new tires...just use your stock PS2s if the tread life is still good.

I have to go to shops with a special lift. I got my car alignment when I was in SoCal

I went to the shop mostly everyone goes on the west coast to get their alignment Daren is the best at that and he had to use the 2x4's. Oh and as for the driveways, gas stations, and shopping centers it is a true nightmare

I do everything slow and at a angle

Its funny you said that because it is true, I actually carry small 2x4 blocks of wood in my trunk in the storage area
