got rid of the winter wheels

Post by retroren »

bad enough dealing with winter and to have to look at the old turbines:

winters gone and it's time for the sun to shine, new wheels and to show off some winter brake work:

The brakes look good behind them. I have to say though, I still do dig the turbines.

95nasta: yeah, I know. I just wish they were 18s. A red car screams chrome wheels to me. I say make your car the way you want it. Nice work you did on the hood cutting out the rust and rebuilding it. I can only admire people like you and Matt for what you guys can do to your cars. pretty cool.

I'm kind of bummed that the summer gathering of Olds owners in Lansing MI has already been canceled in light of the virus. Well they already have a date for next year, 6/19/2021.

Thanks. I hear ya on red. I have shadow chrome on my red M5.

The only wheels I can thing of that's close to your OEM wheels but bigger are 17" C4 salad shooters. Regardless of the bolt pattern/bore, they're likely too wide though.

These show off his handiwork behind the wheels rather nicely. :)
