E90 Melbourne Red W/ RAC RG 63's

calintexas · 07-19-2010, 09:40 PM

No drop coming. Besides the extra, ugh..., items in the road to dodge in Texas, the car barely clears the driveway now. The silver wheels look great with the Melbourne. I'm very pleased.

Epacy2 · 07-19-2010, 09:49 PM

Aww yeah, looking good! Def like them better than the stock 18's in your sig. Time to update!

AMPowerJ · 07-19-2010, 09:53 PM

Nice. I especially like the Ford Ranger tribute to Earnhardt in the background of your second to last pic.

Yes, working on that now. Actually, the Gray 18's had grown on me. The "LOOK AT ME" silver Rg 63's took just a little getting used to.

Yes, apparently Dale's spirit is in the lawn mowing business. You see all kinds of things here.

Looks great with MR. Nice to see em mounted up.

WCH · 07-19-2010, 11:04 PM

LOL. If he wanted to do that, the guy should've at least gotten a Chevy!

Looking good!

We need to get Suprane to meet us for a photo shoot!

Looks good. Too bad about TX front plate laws.

Actually, front plate enforcement in Texas is pretty sporadic. I ran for a long time without one (years) and didn't have an issue. I put the plate on a few weeks ago as I was going into Dallas and had read that the constables in Dallas County have become front plate Nazi's recently. The offset bracket doesn't really bother me, and it takes a reason for a law enforcement officer to stop me away; so, I just haven't bothered to take it off.

Agreed. I have run my last two BMWs without one and haven't had any issues here in central Houston. The cops here seem to have bigger things to worry about. I was out in one of the suburbs today (my hometown) and was a bit more paranoid.

E90 LCI M3's in MR are slowly becoming my favorite color/styling of the E9x's.

Very nice. No drop needed, it looks fine the way it is. BTW, any idea how much do those weigh?

They are 19X9 ET22 & 19X10 ET22, Approx. 20 & 21 lbs., meet JWL and VIA specifications, and are designed to fit the E9X M3 specifically. The wheels (designed by Ralph Sheppard) are 8,000 ton forgings made by Taneisya in Japan who also makes Dinan, Neez and Champion wheels. Approximately 50 sets have been made. They are top of the food chain quality.
