the ride is not bad at all to be honest. even over small potholes, you wont crack a tooth.

Very nice and tasteful mods....

No issues with the odd size tires? The 285/35/22 tire size is almost 4% bigger compared to stock size, are you feeling any difference when braking and I assume that you're aware that you can no longer use your spare tire with this current summer setup?

WOW! She has come a loooong way from that first pic!

I like the style "214's" that you were running, but you cant go wrong with 168 reps....

She is looking right on point!!

you are correct about the braking. the stopping distance is a lot longer now with this size. the tire package was a deal imo for $899, so i took the chance. its not so bad, but no more tailgating. as for the spare, beauty is pain!

Overall she came out great!!! Big transformation from the original look with the chrome 22's. The only thing I would have done different is the sound setup. While I'm positive it sounds great, I prefer a cleaner install. Maybe a future mod can be a clean setup in the floor, or just leave it alone. Either way, she looks awesome!

Good eye. I was wondering that myself. Is that an OE BMW travel mug, and did you use a special mount for it? What is the rattle situation at highway speed btw?

Love the 168s

Car looks great, stereo is wild. I hope that the rear seatback never comes accidentally unlatched, otherwise with the weight of all that stereo stuff strapped to it your passengers spines will snap like toothpicks.
