Quick and dirty P-chops

Next project.

For the new car I am going to want to run a summer and winter setup.

I like the idea of a lipless modern 5 spoke, also like the idea of doing a gunmetal finish so the car is very low on the radar.

Something like this:


At the same time, the Roadster has LM's, all be it real ones. Would be kind of funny to run reps on this as it's my DD and I have no interest in chewing up real 19" LM's. The look is played out and a bit more flashy then I would like, but this wheel seems to look good on everything.

LM's are a timeless classic. I've owned them in the past and no matter how many times I looked at them, I never got tired of them! It's true though - daily driving significantly increased the chances of bending a wheel by chance pothole, especially in NJ.

What color is your car? Gunmetal definitely gives an aggressive look without being over the top, in my opinion. I'll probably go GM myself

My car is Mineral Gray as shown in the Pchops.

Nice, I think there is still just enough contrast to make it work.

He was referring to the colour of the wheel not the car.

"What color is your car? " Don't think there is anyway else for me to interpret him saying that.

This my idea of a cool setup: 18" APEX ARC-8s and on lowering springs. My new 328 shows up in about 8 weeks and these are going as soon as it gets here. The M6 bumper will take a little longer.

I like the ARC a lot, popular wheel for my other car. I just wish they were in a 19".
