I got a job, got some money, went on a drift experience day, discovered I was definitely the new DK, thought i would buy something with my money that i could drift, found a 328i locally which turned out to be too nice to ruin so now i'm lowering and wheeling it.
received the wheels and coilovers today.
tried the wheels on when I got home
They are Pentas in bmw fitment. I can't find much info on them but I believe they are magnesium racing wheels made for e34 m5s. They are replicas of the AMG penta but pretty rare in bmw pcd.
sizes are 16x8 et 11 front and 16x9 et11 rear.
They need a bit of love, some paint on one of the centres is flaking so i need to strip it and re paint. Was just going to stick with silver but may be open to suggestions (shades of grey/silver. I do not want anything loud)
I'll try and get all the coilovers fitted tomorrow and my go into town to get some paint stripping stuff and paint.
Tyres Currently on there are 225 and 245 front and rear respectively. I was thinking 195 and 215. Would that be enough combined with the natural camber from lowering to get them in the arches. I'm a noob with fitment so any advice is welcomed.
I don't mind rolling the arches flat but would prefer not to pull them.
Have a look and see what you think
