And you can definitely find wheels/tires for under 2k that are really cool.

I agree. Get some nice DDE headlights for about $500-600, then you can get some nice rims and tires for the remaining $1400-1500. I personally like the velocity motoring VB-1 rims. You can get those AND tires for under $1k. Product Link

I'd have to disagree. I roll with mine on all day long and I still get looks all the time...

but at dusk/dawn when it's really visible :P

:iagree

I have mine on all the time, and with the DDEs I have, even in the daytime they're noticable. Not as bright obviously, but definitely attention getting (especially with the eyebrows to compliment them).

yeah I want brows, but I've seen pics where they just don't look right when you're in close.. got any upclose pics Harry?

**brien4787** · 05-22-2005, 02:45 PM

suspension... go for some bilstein shocks and some kind of lowering springs. not only will it look a lot better with the drop, your car will handle a lot better than what it already is.

euro tails would be really nice, tint is always great, maybe some used or replica wheels?i would skip on the exhaust for now since it doesnt do much preformance wise, and your car should sound pretty nice even stock.

**///95M3** · 05-22-2005, 05:52 PM

Well your not a big autocrosser/track guy so suspension is almost pointless. You seem to want a good looking fast car even though your car is auto so I would recommend..
AA gen 3 exhaust (not to agressive but a nice sound) 600$
AA CAI (a nice mod) 350$
AA Software 350$
The rest I would spend on headlights or some nice used bbs rims.

**bmw4life** · 05-22-2005, 06:00 PM

Well for now my car is fast enough but I would like exhaust. So should I go rims or lights and exhaust. Hopefully I will be able to get my second choice by the end of summer so its not that big of a deal. I pretty much known what lights I want but I have no clue about rims so any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks for all the help so far.

**Addicted?** · 05-22-2005, 06:29 PM

well if you want suggestions for rims i will say ssr gt3s all the way! but they are kind of spendy... check out tire rack for some wheels

**bmw4life** · 05-22-2005, 06:43 PM

I love the ssr gt3's but there is know way I am paying that much for rims.

**Spieluhr** · 05-22-2005, 07:06 PM

you can go to discount tire co.'s website and check out osme of theirs. that is where i got my wheels (wheels and kuhmo tires for $1000), and they have REALLY good customer service.

no matter what, the first thing you shoudl get is wheels and tires, they will set your car apart from the rest on the road.

**tomctx** · 05-22-2005, 07:25 PM

Check out the Kosei K1's on tirerack.com. About 16 pounds per tire in 17". A lot cheaper than the SSR's

**bmw4life** · 05-22-2005, 07:43 PM

I don't really like the center part of the K1's...but what do you think about the Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport? Do you think the satin paint would look good?

**komodo** · 05-22-2005, 11:47 PM

If you decide to buy tires though, help out United in doing so. hehe, if you come to this site, and click on the TireRack banner at the top, then buy something, we get a percentage of the sale in a kickback.

You could always put a big ol' BMW logo in the center section. But I see what you mean. It all comes down to what you like. It's your car and money.
