Colours: Photoshopped DPE S-10 Wheels for the E34

Posted on by

So here I am trying to decide on a colour scheme for the DPE S-10 wheels should chrome/polish finish be scrapped. A quick photoshop rendition simulates the results and here I have 5 different finishes. I know the renditions can look over the top but it’s photoshop, who cares?

As for the studs/nuts, i’ll leave it for a later decision. Most likely to be chrome though.

E30 M3 DTM Center Lock wheels just refurbished – finally

Some of you may remember from this post, where i acquired a set of 5 E30 DTM single lug / mono lug / center lock wheels last year in April. Today, i finally collected them from the shop. They have been sandblasted and refurbished back to their glory days. I decided to have them finished in racing white.

This is how these babies would look when mounted! I was intending to mount them on my E34 just for fun if I could find the locsking hubs for the wheels. Which can be purchased from sites like these – Racecarsdirect.com M3 E30 Center Lock HUBS BBS. But looking at them now, it’ll be a great addition to my still, WIP E30. Continue reading →

The Type IIs that i recently acquired came with Falken rubbers. So why not use them first? They’re in 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.  I managed to fit the fronts, with the 15mm spacers on. but had to remove the rear 20mm spacers. They will be shaved and reinstalled, once i get the rear fenders rib shaved.  I also have some new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric,  just waiting to go on, in 265/30/19 and 235/35/19. Please enjoy the only 2 pictures :) Continue reading →

I’m that much closer to completing the E34 with the addition of these AC Schnitzer 19″ Type IIs. Here they are raw from storage.  Pretty filthy from the pictures and there are also some chips and curb marks, but they are still pretty much virgins in terms of not being painted on, ever. I have intentions of getting them powder coated but have yet to find a shop that does it.

Have been searching forever for a set of AC Schnitzer Type II in 19s from the E39 and up.  And here they are! It’s in 8.5″ and 9.5″. It may not look like any change at all from my current 18″ type IIs but believe me, they are, in both size and design.

As pictured, the 19X9.5 rear alongside the 18×8.5s on the car. Can’t wait to collect them real soon
