Nextel's Imola Sedan ZHP thread (another imola sedan?)

[704sw]

got some new shoes, always wanted the CSL wheels. for now all i can afford are the VMR 703's. picked them up with tires for $700 no cracks or bends and new tires. sold the M3 wheels.

looking forward to a proper ceramic coat this weekend and a new photo session hopefully saturday night.

just cell phone pictures but im digging the wheels so far.

19x9.5 et33 all around.

rears have 15mm spacers so now sitting at et18 currently. night drop down to 10mm spacer

I much prefer the CSL wheels to the standard M3 wheels, but that might just be me.

Looks good

You're not alone!

I like 19" 67s, but I think the 18s look horrible. IMO nothing looks better on the E46 than the CSL, ARC-8, or CH.

thanks guys!

i feel like my car is looking more like Zachs imola before he moved on to his current setup lol.

i know black wheels arent for everyone but i'm waiting to a proper photoshoot to make a final determination and some feedback from you all of course. Im loving the aggressive fitment and stance however that might be whats jading me away into thinking the black setup is ok. need to get over the honeymoon phase

on the black and red combo. I think it works well, especially since the wheels match the trim.

Funny that you say that, I'm the exact opposite. I wish the 18" version was just scaled up to a 19 and would be perfect. The 67 19" is one of my least favorite E46 wheels. But CSL wheels agreed always look good, along with style 135. ACR's are starting to be everywhere. They look great, they're strong and light, but I don't know. Something about the CSL wheel design is so classic to me that I feel it's okay if you saw this as often as ACR's (which I feel you don't).

Not the biggest fan of heavy camber or black wheels, but I love this build. A build is amazing when you can tell it is drawn from a deep passion, which OP definitely has. This is one of my most favorite builds next to the S65 swap Adam was working on, but sadly recently got abandoned.

got some updated pictures from this weekend after the car wash and ceramic coating sealant.

went for a mountain drive 2 hours away and put roughly 200 miles through out the day. these pictures were at the end of the day and could use a nice wipe off on the car.
