Car looks great, Simon! Nice to do stuff like that in cemeteries that still have proper headstones. ;)

I like the way the car looks now. I don't know when you changed the wheels, and I'm a fan of monochrome, but the old look was too... I don't know... Colorless or something? Nice, but so much more pop now for some reason.

I knew back when this car had the unfortunate incident at the car wash that it would come back better, and cleaner than ever. It's such a great color combo, and you've executed the bumper and airdam and repair of the damage a few years ago so well. The wheels are a fantastic choice.

Thanks for the complements. This car has been a long process.
I recently rebuilt the rear of the car, repairing some previous damage as well as new. There was no trunk floor damage, but the rear tail panel was replaced with a brand new euro one. As well as the trunk and tail lights.
Now the entire front and rear of the car are new OEM not used euro metal. (Except the inner and outer fenders) There are no signs of American bumper mounts on the car.
I have to thank Chris Kohler, for giving up the wheels. I wasn't sure about the gold ether, but there original finish and I couldn't change that. And now, I think they suit the car.
Thanks Simon

Hi Simon,

I'd love to know the specs on the wheels. Your car is gorgeous and those wheels set it off perfectly.

They're 17x8,5 ET13. Roughly 3" of lip.

Thanks for the specs. I thought they were wider in back, but I guess it was just the angle of some shots that tricked me.

Anyway, I asked because I started fantasizing about them on my E30. At ET13, there's no way those would properly fit on the front, which is kind of a relief, actually. ; )

I'm relieved as well. I think you have enough going on with that car right now, plus I think these weigh something like 65 pounds each. Worth it though.

They weigh what ever you want them to weigh, that is what I say to my fat face every day.
