Ya gotta love how much wheels really do mean a lot for cars. Completely changes the character of the vehicle. The steelies are definitely the business.

17's are great for winter or track use. For a street car the 18's look better IMO. And this is after looking at two cars side by side.

they definitely are! i'm going to get some more miles on these tires and then decide if i'm going to keep them or not (i have a friend looking for some winter tires so they'll likely get these if i don't like them ).

i agree that 18's look better. and i would run 18's if i could afford some apex ARC-8's in 18x8.5 ET45 trim (the exchange rate right now means that's almost a $2000 set of wheels for me - yikes), or BBS CH. that said, my car feels better with the Style 68s on it, so i will likely end up keeping those for summer use. they are the best looking 17's on this car, in my opinion.

mounted my 17x8 M5 reps with michelin x-ice3's on friday. i liked the steel wheel look, but these look better and the x-ice3's are better (and quieter).

CCAF system is working well so far.

received my NCSExpert/INPA/SSS/DIS/WinKFP cable today - looking forward to checking it out.

I need to try installing that on my win10 laptop now that I have PA Soft up and running.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46fanatic

that would be a good idea. i'm installing it on a 10-year old IBM laptop running XP...

Awesome! Let me know how the setup goes. It was very straightforward (albeit a little time consuming) for me.
