I had my m-pars photoshopped a few times, cause one is bent and theyre getting straightened and refinished. I have the option to go black, gunmetal, or whatever I want. I kinda like this: What do you guys think?

or gunmetal

Gunmetal. That is not a WRX :) Not to be hating on the WRX people. That is just me though. I plan on getting black wheels with a polished lip.

I kinda like the gold ones just cuz of the WOW factor when you first see them, but being kinda of conservative I would go with the gunmetal

Gunmetal looks good, actually they both look good.

The red anodized look is sort of interesting.

Waaay back in the late seventies I had a pickup with chrome rims. I painted the spokes with a candy apple red color that sort of looked like your photoshoped red rims. So I kinda am partial to this look.

I have always been a fan of gold colored rims depending on the color of the car.........I do however like the red ones as well ( maybe i'm a little biased) Nice car:alright

Gold on top of red. Red is dominant. If you're referring to color.

But the red is on top of the gold, in terms of the car is on top of the wheels.

I was saying that your carpet on the inside is a little ghetto:lol And dont flatter yourself "a full page feature" i dont think so....i could send you a few pics of some E34's that look just like yours....at least i'm original......and your moms on my friends list:alright

hahah carpet -

thats fucking alcantara suede you idiot. Haha guys my carpet is ghetto WTF go smash your head on a dance floor or whatever it is that you do.

Yeah find me a few E34s resprayed custom color with a big turbo and FMIC on standalone ECU with a molded car pc in the dash...

hahah carpet.

Also its not a "full page feature" Its a FOUR page feature in Performance BMW - look for it in about Feb/March ;) Loser.

There are a ton of original E34s - like the one with the E39 hood and headlights which looks HIDEOUS and the ones with the E36 conversion kits... but uh, that doesn't make them any nicer. Sure your car is original because no one else in their right mind would put that ricey bumper on and paint their rims red.

I definitely agree..

BUT really, I've thought about doing the same to my Mpars.. but here's the dilemma..

1. there is no real definition between the lip and the spokes.. unlike 2/3 piece wheels.... So where would you make the separation between the 2 colors?

2. Mpars are undoubtedly one of the classiest wheels for the e34.. so when you paint the centers, or even the whole wheel, you kinda take away the design of them (probably applies most to darker colors.)..

okok, chill both y'all. boogieboy, you're right, your car is original. but did you ever wonder why the majority of people do the same mods? IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOOK GOOD. your car's original, but then again, it's also something I'd feel embarrassed to be in, let alone drive.

and jon, your car isn't the most interesting or original on the outside, but that's a good thing. it's classic, and that's what's important. . . plus, it's fast as shit.

boogie, what do you car about what his car looks like? you'll only see the tail from a distance if you ever cross paths, so don't worry about it!

btw, big-baller. . . you should get your house done in that 'carpet'. it's not expensive or anything. . .

Now now you two! :)

Opinions should be respectfull. Personally I think the suede does look "ghetto" and the newer steering wheel doesn't work but that's purely my opinion. I do like your wheels though and you've kept the outside of your car quite tastefull, IMHO. If we all thought the same way all our cars would look the same and that would be boring.

Boogieboy, your car looks dope btw.

L8Honestly this goes back to another thread i started before.....this little kid "urinemachine" has no respect for anyone!!! It wouldnt have mattered if he said he didnt like it , i can understand my car is not for everyone and i dont think im better than anyone else. But he is completely rude with every remark , it's not constructive at all....i treat people the way they treat me....and honestly i dont think he would ever say it to my face because i promise you he would be eating his dinner through a straw for the next few months after that!!!!!
With that being said i will be the bigger man and let it go. But just so you know "urinemachine" i'm out in your area alot so if you ever slip up and go out to a meet THEN WE WILL SEE HOW MUCH SHIT YOU TALK!!!! And FTW its not hard to find people through these forums so keep that in mind next time you want to be rude.

You just made a verbal threat on a forum. Peace out.

What, you're going to kick my ass because I don't like your red ugly wheels? And I don't respect people? No, I do - ask anyone here I've asked for their help, a lot of people (angrypancake specifically) has asked for mine, etc. The point is - you started a thread called "Check out my car" I checked it out, it has a ricey bumper and red wheels I don't like it. You asked for input, I gave it. So either sit down and deal with the fact that your car is not on my menu, or ignore my posts. I've said positive things about tons of shit on this forum, christ I have over 3,000 posts. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but what I do know is that you attempt to insult me saying my mother purchased my car (what is this, high school?) and then verbally assault me on a forum. I don't act big and tough B-Boy, it's a forum, get over it. If someone said my car is ugly thats fine. You brought my car up, i dished out pictures, and the only thing you could say was "your carpet looks ghetto" - ok well let the italians and BMW know that alcantara trim is ghetto because I don't give a crap - I posted it, you don't like, I don't care.

I'd advise you not threaten people on a forum. Should I have any issue with my car or person in the near future I have this thread to look back on.

Oh and by the way, come to a meet in person I still talk shit. If your car is ugly be prepared to hear it - most people can cope with criticism. Have you ever been to a meet? Do you hug everyone? Didn't think so - do you threaten them? That may be.

It's just a forum and nothing more. Words can be exchanged, but it will only be words, and from behind a screen. Who cares if one person doesn't like another's front bumper, or red wheels, or whatever. I didn't really take offense to the "cars menstruating cycle" comment, but I can see how it could be constued as a dick thing to say. Oh well I ahve to go to class. Thanks guys for the imput.
