NEW PICS: Style 177s and Replica RBs

JS_4.8 · #1 04-14-2008, 10:15 PM

Installed replica RB's a couple weekends ago and was finally able to get the Style 177s mounted this weekend and take some pics after a quick wash. Im very pleased with how everything came out! I just need to mount the ACS roof spoiler and do a nice clay/wax and then she will be ready for the summer.

PS, I tried to adjust the color/exposure on these photos - excuse my editing skills if they are not the greatest!!

The 4.8's have air suspension front and rear, so through a friend of mine who knew a guy at BMW NA and was able to get ahold of one of their laptops, we were able to use the DIS system to lower the baseline level electronically. Cheapest mod I ever did - free!

Lucky Lucky Lucky! LOL! Unfortunately I have to go the other route!

Thank you for the input!

Are those black carbon-fiber roundels?

I think this is why there haven't been more replies to the posts regarding lowering, by owners who have done it; It's because a portion of our population here have 4.8i's.

The 4.4i has air suspension in the rear doesn't it? That would then further the explanation. Hardly anyone has springs! hahahaa..

Those wheels are fabulous. I really like 'em.

How much do they weigh?
Which replica company? Do they make a 19" or 20" version? (sometimes the replicas come in sizes the OEMs don't).

Dumb question; When you lower, does this increase the wheel's negative camber? These cars have a little bit of camber adjustment, but does it knock it way out? I'm used to working on my Z3's. If you lower them their camber is increased dramatically.
