actually, after being reminded of winter coming up, I realized that you don't want to get some "fresh" (as JR says) wheels when there is a ton of crap on the road that can mess em up. Keep yours till it gets nicer, until then conv. the tranny.

**Rooz** · 10-02-2005, 08:32 PM

Oh yeah, specially since you live in ATL, lmao

**jrhaile** · 10-02-2005, 08:43 PM

Yeah ATL doesn't get all messed up does it because of winter?

**catalyst** · 10-02-2005, 08:50 PM

If it were me i would most likely go transmission first then rims, but then again i simply cannot stand driving auto..

Just make a decision man LOL.

i was just going to add komodo, even though spieluhr mentioned it, for the winter, you probably gonna put snowtires, and maybe use ur stock rims, and snow tires are a ton cheaper for 15's than for 17's or 18's,a nd if you are gonna use ur stock rims in the winter anyway, why buy fancy rims now? also a manual tranny can really pay its worth during the winter, a few little tricks help u get more traction

Winter doesn't mean much more than being cold here. It's rare to snow or ice. Maybe once all year.

So rims it is.

**94bmw325i** · 10-02-2005, 09:20 PM

So is it official? rims then tranny?

**komodo** · 10-02-2005, 09:22 PM

Rims then 6-speed then cams.

Any last minute remarks?

**xsperf** · 10-02-2005, 09:27 PM

last remark: do it already weve been waiting on this forever! i remember, when we first discussed this you wanted SSR GT3's, and someone said they are back ordered for a few months, and i think, unfortunetely, yet at the same time fortunetely, a few months have passed, you may want to check and see if you can get your hands on some

**komodo** · 10-02-2005, 09:37 PM

I think I like the ACS3 reps more than gt3's actually.

Those acs's look SICK on a silver e36.

**Rooz** · 10-02-2005, 09:50 PM

Yes, that was me, and back in June I think is when I was told by ssr that they are backordered for 5 months...

**Longhairedhippy** · 10-02-2005, 09:57 PM

SSR rims are awsome. I approve in the fullest.

Storamin · 10-03-2005, 07:16 AM

except they're backordered and extremely expensive. sure, they're awesome tho.
