well, i dipped them to try to disguise them a bit seein as theyre so ikkle.
I think leaving them the original silver colour would have made them look ikkler.
being 4x 225 section the 20mm spacers on the back help too.
:wink:

Just need the carbon badges / side indicators now to match up with "the look"? :wink:

i'm going to go all round with these nice all-black minimalist ones i found on ebay i think. plus i heard the carbon ones fade in no time for some reason.

How do the bags do in winter? Any issues with the lower temps?

Seems to be normal colour for winters over here in europe.
Plus black disguises their titchyness a little bit.

Nope no issues at all with the bags, the only issue I had in winter last year was one of my check valves stuck open so it drained my tank entirely, 150psi in a 4 gallon tank just dumped :roll:

Yep. And the spacers do a good job of masking the titchyness a bit.
Tell you what though - the ride on these tyres is super comfy being on 50 profile! More noticeable than when they were on my old e36 coupe which they were poached from.

Looks good, I like the meaty tyres, size? I'm want to get some winter wheels and tyres too. Struggling on what wheels to choose, though I think I need 17" to fit on the Coupe. Thoughts on black steelies, inspired by the PistonHeads thread? Other option is some OE 17"s or something off an E46.
