[MooseX]

yup hit or miss at sac

thanks for that link Jeff. that's about 3 and change from me. maybe he'll meet me in NAPA..save me 40 min

i just talked to the guy. we're meeting monday in Sonoma

Right on!

[MooseX]

I see your Santa Cruz CO. Great place to drive...what a total labyrinth of roads in and around skyline/Highway 9 all the way to the city. Fk' I don't know a better area to drive in. I almost moved from Tahoe to Santa Cruz just for the driving (amongst other obvious reasons)

[MooseX]

I'm gonna go with a 235/40 squared set up...Sumitomo HTZ 3's for econimical reasons AND because I love them on my Xi. There a good fkn' deal. It's either those or Hankooks Ventus V12's but the Sumo's are rated as good for less mula. I can't afford no fancy schmancy Conti's or Michelins or what ever costs 200 bux a tire.

I'm an hour away from the west coast tire rack distribution warehouse east of RENO. If you've ever been there it's tire heaven. GINORMOUS warehouse...just the biggest gdamn warehouse I've ever seen. It's at least a 1/4 mile deep and nearly as wide. I see all those tires and it's gets me all worked up hehe

*any suggestions concerning small spacers when I rotate the fronts to the rears?

Can't wait to see what these look like on a ZHP.

[MooseX]

Me too. I just love 5 spokes. I've got a set of super light alu' BMW 5 spoke 16's that look exactly like 264's on my xi for winter (forgot the style #). Def' fits the body style though... and they weigh less than 20 lbs each. Steering is alot lighter...

264's are 24 lbs..so somewhat lighter than 135's

Here are some pics I have collected showing style 264s on E46 cars (some are not ZHPs):

[MooseX]

they all look great. really gives the E46 a classic look

I'm all in now. Just confirmed the meet tomorrow to buy

[Washburn]

Yep - and I think they look even better on lighter colored cars... So I am excited to see how they look on my AW coupe ...
And think of how easy these will be to (keep) clean !!!
Wonder if the small ///M badges can/will go on the 264s somehow...but without a dedicated 'slot'/pocket for them, might look weird..

I'm all in now. Just confirmed the meet tomorrow to buy

congrats!
Will you be running them with or without spacers? I know for a fact that pics I just posted above showing the silver coupe and the black vert with 264s do NOT have spacers at all. I think they still look great. (The others might also not have them, but not 100% cure).
This debate with/without spacers is what has been holding me from putting the wheels on so far...
