Neez replacement finally on the car!

bunnn · 04-14-2011, 05:55 PM

Few quick pics outside my friend's bodyshop. I wish I can remove my stupid stainless steel rim protector, it's really distracting. But so far I'm stumped, I tried floss/fishing line/nylon/plastic wedge pair with heat gun - no dice.

Quick PS of how they WOULD have looked if I got them off(courtesy of dimsum)

Jaypod · 04-14-2011, 06:05 PM

Looks great Ben!!! But I think those might be better on my car......

col.faith · 04-14-2011, 06:19 PM

Very nice. You beat me to it. I was thinking of getting these FIs couple weeks ago =)

mkPOTO · 04-14-2011, 06:22 PM

HOT!

GOLFFRR · 04-14-2011, 06:25 PM

^^+1, super hot!

bunnn · 04-14-2011, 06:29 PM

Thanks guys, can someone recommend me someone who's perhaps dealt with this before? I'm quite annoyed at how distracting they look.

I think I'm gonna sneak in a 5mm spacer in the rear, but worried about all the talk about vibration.

MK599 · 04-14-2011, 06:34 PM

I cant even think of words to say at the moment. omg.

Sorry cant help with the silver protector but once you get that thing off....wow

chris s · 04-14-2011, 06:49 PM

I'm relatively sure you can NOT remove the rim protector with tires on the rims! Not sure if that's how you were attempting to do it, but it sounded like that!

bunnn · 04-14-2011, 07:02 PM

BBS advertised that they are removable without having to remove the tires. ThBut I think you're right, if they were off it might be easier.

Very nice set of bbs, make your car looks more aggressive, when can I see it in person?

You have to pay Ben an appearance fee. I hear its pretty expensive.

I'm afraid the fee to see his new car might outweigh any fee I could charge, haha.

Feel freee to shoot me a pm if you want to see, it's convenient if you go pick up your wife

twboy1999 · 04-14-2011, 09:18 PM

they are some sick rims

montreal red · 04-14-2011, 10:24 PM

probably one of the best rims that you can buy for an m3!! i wished i can afford these babies.

RuthlessE90 · 04-14-2011, 10:26 PM

ballerific!!!!!

peanuboy · 04-14-2011, 11:25 PM

those look sick on your car, Ben, especially from a distance, blends perfect with the car's black!

and yes, get rid of the silver trim asap!

jonasaurus · 04-15-2011, 01:31 AM

Def looks better without the protector!

thug123 · 04-15-2011, 02:30 AM

Best Looking Rim Ftw!!!

Mark's M · 04-15-2011, 04:15 PM

Ben, they are by far the nicest rims for our car. But I'm torn between whether or not the rim protectors suit it...or not. I'm gonna side with the "not" but with or without, FANTASTIC!!!

bunnn · 04-15-2011, 05:23 PM

Thanks guys! I'm pretty much sided with the "not" after I saw the photoshop. It was pretty much the look I had in mind when I started ordering my brakes and these wheels. That said, I will be ordering a replacement but prepped and painted in the same finish as the wheel. Despite my good track record with wheels(knock on wood), it's a peace of mind I'd like to have.

Gkap · 04-16-2011, 12:08 AM

wow Ben looks even better than I expected

STALKER · 04-16-2011, 12:08 PM

Congrats.
Very rare wheels.
