♪♫♪I Got New Shoes On The Ride♪♫♪

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqL9NvKE6Bs

Hey,

Just threw on some new wheels over the weekend. Just looking for some feedback - positive or negative. Let me know what you guys think of the ride in general so far.

I did a quick photo shoot today for about 5 minutes. Just took some plain shots from all angles. Don't comment on the photography skills cause I'm no photographer, nor am I trying to be one.

Thanks.

It's got the sport suspension which is 3 inches lower than stock. There's only 2 fingers space in between, I always thought that was ideal, no?

problem with black wheels is that you can barely see them

Definitely digging the new kicks. What are they? VMR-710s? Not too hot about the eyelids though, but to each his own.

IMO the LCI headlights would be an awesome mod

They are 19"'s actually. And yeah, ground clearance is what matters, but I'm already having trouble clearing some speed-bumps with my front bumper!

I think black looks sick on white. I personally hate chrome wheels on sports cars.

Yeah, they are the VMR 710's in matte black. I'm starting to consider taking the eyelids off now lol. I like the LCI headlights a lot better too. Where can I get those other than the stealership and how much will cost me?

Yeah, eyelids will probably go soon, and yes, i like white :-), but so hard to keep clean.

No, I just got the wheels so I was excited and quickly threw them on. I'll enjoy them for another month-ish or less and then switch back for the winter.

Haha, I'm kinda scared of tint right now. If I'm gonna do it, i'm gonna do it illegal. But i'll definitly be doing it, hopefully soon. I'm planning on getting the badges in matte black, maybe have it say "328i" on right side, and "E90" on the left while losing the BJ logo.

I'm waiting for black rims to be played out. They show no definition/lines, and from far look little different than black steelies.

Not a fan of black rims for the reasons stated. Gunmetal is nicer.

The bumper and the eyelids don't suit my taste...
However, overall the car looks great!
I ordered some matte black wheels as well~
