first of all congrats on the 20"s..looks tuff...
just wondering..did u have any troubles fitting your 20"s?
i just bought a set for my 320i and the backs fit well but the fronts hit the strut bar...i've tried hammering it lol but didnt move... any suggestions for fitting the fronts??
could a vanos 325 with those same mods potentially be a little quicker?
Not much if you launch well

whoah how did i miss the CRX discussion...i had a 290whp Holset boosted B16a2 CRX but it could only run 11.9....how do you explain that? thats not 9's or 8's lol
come to think of it the only time i ran an 11.9x was in wrinkle walls and i broke an axle and 2nd gear
i could run 12.5+ all day long on street tires...but i was trapping speeds that pending traction would net me a 11.0 at best
Naw I didn't have to roll the fenders cuz I went with a 20x7.5. If I wnted to lower it however, which i will be doing in the near future Im gonna have to roll the rear fender but the front will fit fine with no rubbage.
Dude it was so freakin hard to find any 20x7.5 black with crome lip, I found lots of 20x8.5's but i would've had to roll the fenders to fit those and I didn't want to go chrome cuz i still wanted it to look mean. Also I know the tails have got to go, so many of you guys have dogged me for having the altezzas and after a while i figured you were right, I need smoked euro's so it flows better with the one piece headlights and the clear side markers I just wanted to get rid of any orange on the car and do it all black/red/clear. Its now black paint, black leather, and black rims......hard.
No bends and it suprisingly doesn't ride rough at all just a little more interior noise, and also just to clear everything up....I LOVE BMW's I will never own another car I was simply stating that for the money you can rice out a crx and make it way faster than a 325i...THAT IS ALL. Honda's suck but with 5 g's I could make an old ass crx pretty fast, this whole thread got blown way out of proportion and i just wanted all you guys to know that i am one of the biggest beamer fans ever so just squash it. Oh and i just bought a new 7mp digital camera and Im gonna shine up the 20's and get some better pix for you all that don't hate and put, "Put some pimpstars on that thing". Dork
Good to see someone else taking the heat off of me for a while. Keep it up kid you will go far.
