I was going to say those DWS tires will prevent future winter / summer wheel swaps

That colour combo rarely looks that good

Reminds me of a Porsche I saw a while back

I was looking at that same wheel and color for my red tlx. Looks much better than I imagined. Great choice!

Maybe? I've run the DWS and DWS 06 and never found them sufficient for what I'd want in snowy conditions. They're ok but I like the security of real winters though I run performance winters and not full winters (like a Blizzak or X-Ice). I'll see how these hold up late into the year though, maybe there's a chance to sell my winters out of this.

I never found the DWS06 to be too amazing. It's good enough to not get stuck but wasn't confidence inspiring when trying to stop on Vancouver snow(that wet heavy slushy stuff).

Beautiful wheel! (and nice combo on the car too)

Just to save me the trouble of looking it up myself, what is this wheel model called?

I'm sure they're the Phoenix model, I was looking at this and the Icons. Correct me if I wrong supa (also call dibs if you don't curb em :pokerface:

Enkei TSR-X: https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/tuning/tsr-x/

I got the 20x9.5+40 model. 23.5lbs (at least that's how they advertise it).

I was wrong (I was looking at 19s), dibs still counts. 20s will fit still. :fuckyea:

Do it man! The TLX (new one?) looks great with 20" wheels.

I'm really happy with how they turned out - the 9.5" width really fills the wheel wells nicely (I'm also lowered) - was aiming for the muscular look of a BMW sedan. Here's a shot from another angle with slightly better lighting (still shitty cloudy weather):

BTW: My wife will probably curb the wheels in a few months. She's quite "talented" when it comes to driving.

^ Now it all makes sense why it looks so good, cause you are lowered! How much are you lowered by? Maybe I should lower my X3 as well :concentrate:

I'm on Eibach Pro-kit springs which are 1.5"/1.2" lower than stock. Some SUVs look great lowered - the Q5 is awesome, looks like a jumbo hot hatch when lowered.

The ride quality is still pretty decent - it's a little short on suspension travel when going over choppy speed bumps and larger bumps but otherwise adds a nice crispness to things. Roll stiffness does get a bit exaggerated - feels like the roll bars have gotten a lot stiffer now, maybe it needs shorter links to compensate.

Just got my new summer wheels on the other day

Still debating between 5mm or 10mm spacers in the rear. Also front bumper needs a good polishing.

I was in the e91 wagon driving next to you on Cambie on Saturday night, I was trying to get your attention to ask if you're running a square 219m setup. I have a set of staggered 219m and I have been debating putting them on, your car looked really good with them and it kind of convinced me.

Oh yea, cant miss this one. I was wondering if the owner of that wagon would be somewhere on here or e90post. They're square 260m, 18x9.5 et23 on 255/35/18, m3 control arms + Dinan camber plates on the front. Alignment is within spec in case someone from VPD is reading this.

Retrofitted rear fog lights.

Dirty in this photo. Especially the wheels.

never seen it on both sides
did you have to diy wiring the other side?

BMWs do both sides by default. My E90 does the same. All it is is removing the tabs preventing the “blank” switch underneath front fogs from being depressed. Once the switch is modded both side rear fogs just work.

The button exists on all e90s but it doesn't have the graphic on it for rear fogs and there is no plastic piece on the inside that activates the switch. Typically people use some Lego pieces in the shape of a T to make the toggle work. I did this with mine too but ended up just buying the euro light switch afterwards which includes the button with graphic.

Edit* I see Trevor already answered this haha

Oh shit u got TEs where's the ZE40s?
