The car with new wheels :)

Mart1000 · 04-28-2012, 12:31 PM

Well im happy again now, the car is settling well on the new springs and the geo is set perfect. Here is a few pics with new wheels on, I'll take some better ones Monday when it's dry, and clean

here she is for now...

Kerr · 04-28-2012, 12:43 PM

They look good.

Good choicef wheel.

A_P · 04-28-2012, 12:52 PM

Hahahaha a most excellent choice squire.

mistryn · 04-28-2012, 12:53 PM

looking good there, glad you had your issue with the springs sorted out

MEGA · 04-28-2012, 12:57 PM

I'm not sure how I feel about the Cades on an E90. For some reason I feel that they suit the retro lines of the E46 but not necessarily the E90..

But fair play for doing something different! Next on the list rear lights surely

Mart1000 · 04-28-2012, 01:03 PM

100% need rear cluster changing!

Was very surprised how concave they are in the flesh, pics don't do it justice!

MEGA · 04-28-2012, 01:06 PM

Don't get me wrong I really like the wheel. Seen quite a few sets in the flesh..

Brian mc21 · 04-28-2012, 01:45 PM

Good work Mart...

makkan00 · 04-28-2012, 05:16 PM

Excellent choice Mart.
Looks clean and nice.
Looking for HD pics so they can justice with concavity of rears.

Looks good Mart!!

Why tyres you running on?

Cyprio · 04-29-2012, 04:09 AM

Heh Mart, same wheels as me!

rsmallwo · 04-29-2012, 04:26 AM

With bad boy rims like those, you best watch out for the police pulling you incase your a drug dealer...

doughboy · 04-29-2012, 05:32 AM

Drug dealers wouldn't drive a soot chucker, fuel economy ain't their thang.

buckethead · 04-29-2012, 07:09 AM

took me a day to decide, but yeah looking good...

its good to see another wheel set apart from csl reps

I went with Nankang NS2 tyres. Was more a price decision for now, when they wear out I'll probably go back to Falken.

But to be fair the weather has been shite this weekend and they have been more than adequate in the wet.

lemans 330d · 04-29-2012, 11:53 AM

sits well there matey but i agree with mega you defo need some darklines.

Mart1000 · 04-29-2012, 12:41 PM

Yep for sure. And a remap. Think I'll stop there as in a few years time I'll change anyway

zltm089 · 04-29-2012, 12:42 PM

looks cool!...

did u do ur research about the tyres?...

Mart1000 · 04-29-2012, 01:06 PM

I had a look but I wasn't gonna get hung up on them. Some say they are good, some say shite. I've no complaints yet but obviously they are not as good as a premium tyre. Like I say when they wear I will switch back to 452/453's. I doubt it will take me long to wear them out either with the miles I do.

I don't tend to drive like a twat, and they've been fine this weekend through all the torrential rain. Only been on for a few days do in a few months I'll post up a genuine un biased review.

Billyray911 · 04-29-2012, 03:48 PM

Not too sure of the wheels,but as has been mentioned-good to be different from the crowd-most play safe (including me) and go the csl route!
Ride height looks good by the way!
Remember your reg is on show btw-especially being job...

Mart1000 · 04-29-2012, 06:10 PM

Cheers mate, your right. Edited.

On that note what is the best way to take the number plate off show cleanly rather than the way Ive done it?
