Post pics of your ride!
How much did you pay for the ZKWs?The DDMs are around $125 a set now,with HIDs.....Not flaming,just as at least in the past the ZKWs were really expensive.
....But,anyway....pics?!
There were a couple really nice Tis at the last BMWCCA VIR event,but I never had a chance to take any pics of them.

My Ti still looks the same for now, most dramatic change is when I finally get my ass over to your place to get my fenders rolled so I can put the Rokkors on and drop it to the tires
I had considered the DDM kit but for me I'd always know that they were cheapo stuff (like the rokkors, which I'll get rid of as soon as possible, I just hate being 4x4 status) and it's the difference between 125 + shipping for cheapo or 325 shipped for quality shit I don't mind spending a little more. Also my room is starting to look like a wheel shop, I've got 4 Mille's stacked up in the corner, 4 steelies and the spare beside that, and now both RZ's sitting on that container.For reference for the before and after, here is what I have at the moment:
My immediate future plans are to install rear wheels (RZ412s) all the way around, drop it, and install ZKWs (which I'm hopefully doing between matinee and night showing today, fingers crossed)
EDIT: can't see the rears very well in that picture so here's a close up of what's going on all four corners:

check out that 3 inch dish, and from a one piece wheel no less.EDIT: Dear previous owner of my car, thanks for stripping a plastic screw then not bothering to replace it once it was out, you're awesome. minor setback.
UPDATE: Someone congratulate me on a flawless failure, I spent so much time finding tools and getting that damn stripped screw and nose cover panel off that I only had an hour left to install, wire, and mount the ballasts for the HIDs. So I figured I'd just do the clear corners and save the ZKWs for tonight, so I install the driver's side no problem at all, get to the passenger's side and low and behold it doesn't fit, not even close to clipping in to the headlight, serves me right for buying a cheapo pair on ebay instead of going OEM. I emailed the seller and told him I think I was sent the corner's for a sedan on the driver's side and a coupe on the passenger's side and I am awaiting a response (at least if i'm SOL i'm only out 20 bucks). Then I go to start the car and there's a horrible buzz from under the hood, turns out I forgot to put the bulb sleeves back on and I guess that had something to do with it. So it finally stops buzzing and I'm just like fuck it, maybe I'll have better luck tonight.
UPDATE: Wow, what an ordeal, finally installed though sans angel eyes. I can't figure out how to tap slice from the city lights to the Angel Eyes (chris if you've got them I'd be eternally grateful for some tips, all this wiring shit is totally new to me) But what I'm thinking is that because they're already giving me problems I might as well go through a bit more hassle and wire them independent to the corners.
First Light Up before anything's secured or corners are in:

Fitment:

Final Product:

Old vs. New:

Fitment will be tighter on the bottom when I put the rest of the bolts in (which I'll do once the Eyes are working properly)

I finally got my wheels back from powdercoating friday and threw them on for some shitty cell phone pictures.More low will come when i can get ahold of tngchris to roll my fenders.




you and me both pal, I just need to get out that way. Love the wheels, when it gets dropped that shit is gonna be HOT
And thanks,pcm powdercoating in salem did the wheels and they went above and beyond my expectations.
Go down to pcm and check out they're color choices,they literally have everything and anything.I got all four done for 250 and thats everything coated exept the lips.Barrels,inside the barrels,front spokes,rear of spoke,everything.
The rokkor have honestly impressed me for the price.I expected total shit but they don't ride bad at all.

). Was thinking about taking them to Wheel Worx in MD but if there's local places that do quality work then I might save myself the money and hassle. I'm basically looking at the classic polished lips gold centers setup.EDIT: and it's good to know the rokkors are holding up well, mine were 270 shipped
I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm at least replacing the rear shocks (which are not Ti compatible) with some Bilsteins which will hopefully make the ride even better.
