Kiemyster · 08-02-2009, 08:28 PM

V710's!

RevC · 08-02-2009, 08:52 PM

Kiemyster · 08-02-2009, 09:28 PM

the thing is i need 18 inch rims, do the v710s come in that size? ive only seen them in 19s

Before any recommendations are given - what color/model is your e46? Interior color and future modifications should be included as well.

For sure. I also never liked hyperblack since it looks like low quality chrome. For most colors, I'd go gunmetal for that aggressive touch.

kyleb350 · 08-03-2009, 09:19 AM

a '99 e46?!

On an e46, the CSLs work as well as V710s or pretty much any BBS wheel

SV Concepts III · 08-03-2009, 11:27 AM

Definitely recommend CSLs for the E46. It's a classic style that works real well on these models.

Kiemyster · 08-03-2009, 03:18 PM

*updated info*

any other mods you think i should add on? dont say steering wheel though, im not up for it.

The v710 do come in a size 18x8.5 and 18x9.5

ianbiz · 08-03-2009, 04:03 PM

V710s dont look good in 18in form. I'd say go with some LM reps.

ianbiz · 08-03-2009, 04:03 PM

btw, what are those 2 trinis doin leanin on your car?

its a tough call bro, remember im in trinidad and the roads aint smooth at all. im afraid that with 19's im bound to twist some shit up. but at the same time, i want the look of 19s. i guess i could get lo profile tires if i get 18s but i wont. Im probably gonna get 19s.

fuck e90post, making me want to spend all my money. had i never seen this site, i wouldnt be bothered. i love it!

CSLs personally. I think they're literally perfect for the E46. V710s are too aggressive and take away from the E46's design.

Any shade. I like hyperblack.

You should get an M3 front bumper, M-Sport rear bumper, blacked out grilles, M3 spoiler lip (or CSL trunk lid), and any of the frikn awesome headlight units (or even just the white/blacked out corner lamps).

Yeh buddy, rollin like a big shot.

Sweet car dudeski.

im gonna get an Mtech style 2 (clubman) front bumper. Im gonna leave the rear alone, as it already has an M3 rear lip. Maybe a roof spoiler?

as far as rims go, i think im gonna cop some V710s in gunmetal.
