Forgelines and Aero Kit Installed

alan93rsa · 05-08-2008, 04:58 PM

I finally got the wheels and factory aero kit installed. The wheels are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5

Beautiful car. The M3 lip spoiler improves the rear of the aero kit a lot.

Just not a fan of that aero rear...lip is great though and so is m3 spoiler.

I have the front but where did you get the rear aero bumper from?

alan93rsa · 05-09-2008, 09:58 AM

Thanks for the comments. The rear is part of the factory aero kit. When I pulled it out of the box I wasn't sure about the rear. The shop that did the install and paint suggested the lip. Glad they did.

Looks awesome, even if it is bright freaking red...

Seriously though, Aero package looks good, wheels look just right, well done...

car looks very nice.... a drop will make it look better....

alan93rsa · 05-09-2008, 02:03 PM

It is bit on the bright side. A modest drop is planned. Deciding between just doing a set of springs or one of the coilover kits.

Looks good mang!!

bavarian19 · 05-09-2008, 05:16 PM

are those 18's?

alan93rsa · 05-09-2008, 06:20 PM

Yes, they are 18's. I almost went with 19's.

ALPINE6SPD · 05-09-2008, 07:17 PM

235x40x18 front, 275x35x18 rear

Dude, those are the smallest looking rims I have ever seen. Not trying to be a dick but what were you thinking getting a lipped 18inch wheel?

alan93rsa · 05-10-2008, 07:27 AM

When I first saw the pictures of these at 18" I wasn't sure I would like them. In person they look better. I went 18 for a more comfortable ride. It's always a compromise

espresso · 05-10-2008, 10:35 AM

Car looks great, and wheels look pretty good. Like you i prefer 18 inchers. 19s look good but just too many compromises (ride, more expensive tires, more road related wheel damage)

alan93rsa · 05-10-2008, 11:16 AM

I think the package will look better with the car about 1" lower.
