HAMANNS

[WilliamsKR]

I know it goes against everyone's thinking, but I purchased some Hamann HM2's 19 X 8.5 235-35 19's mounted on NITTO NT555. I will post some pics soon.

Why would it go against anyone's thinking?

Congrats William! I don't know if you remember but we met at Bimmerfest and you lent me one of you walkie talkies. Definitely post pics soon. I did a few new mods since BF as well.

Take care- Jess

Marvel,
I know you think that going any bigger than 18's is a waste.

[WilliamsKR]

antetr95,
What new mods have you done???

[WilliamsKR]

MarvelPhx,
Anymore mods on your new baby????

[antetr95]

Sorry if I hijacked the thread but... I installed a Strong Strut front tower brace, hardwired my V1 radar detector, installed shadow black front kidney grilles, and installed DDE Phosphyre halos. I really like the 19" BBS RGR's for wheels but can't afford it right now. We'll see.

[MarvelPhx]

Now now, I never said over 18" wheels are a waste. I said *I* wouldn't run them because of the ride harshness and the possibility of bending a rim too easily on a pothole or road deformity. My personal opinion should have no effect on your decision to buy 19" or even 20" wheels for your own car!

Like I always say, get what *you* want, not what you think others will like.

[WilliamsKR]

Okay I stand corrected. Thanks!!!

[WilliamsKR]

Antetr95,
The mods sound good. How difficult was it to do the halos???

[WilliamsKR]

MarvelPhx,
Don't get gushy, but I do respect your opinions, you obviously have more experience at this than I do.

[antetr95]

William,
It took me 2.5 hrs to do the halos. I came across some wiring problems midway through. Without problems, I could've done it in 2 hours tops. I'm a novice at best getting my hands dirty on cars, but i'm learning a whole lot lately. There is a good feeling when you do the work yourself. But the DDE mod is awesome. It's the best mod I 've done so far. I get so many looks from it and to get that look from 5 and 7 series owners is priceless.

[WilliamsKR]

Who did you order them through??

[WilliamsKR]

MarvelPhx,
Should I have front end alignment done if I install the new wheels myself or is that just reserved for when you install new suspension parts?? I should be receiving the wheels and tires from Wheel Exchange this Friday.

[antetr95]

Umnitza. You can check them out at www.umnitza.com

So when are you installing your HM2's? Where did you order them and if you don't mind how much?

[WilliamsKR]

I got them from Wheel Exchange (WWW.Wheelexchange.com) Total cost was 2614.00 (Wheels, Tires, and Shipping).

Below is a good site for BBS's
