New wheels and tires on a Sunday afternoon.

Lookin nice

awesome looks great!

looks great. i like the black out grill, especially on red...the springs will really pull everything together...can't wait to see it when it's done....

thats a sporty wagon

Gawd I love those wheels - it's either those or some type42s for mine...

I like chrome, so I'd put the chrome kidneys back on, but strictly personal preference...

Riding a little high now...the wagon goes to the shop this Thursday for ACS springs and Rogue Eng. RSM's.

Let me know what you think of the blackout grill? A friend of mine thinks it didn't look right, since the car has black moldings. Do you think I should go back to chrome kidneys, keeping the black slats? I could do either.

Here are some pictures after installation of ACS springs (for a 325xit) and Rogue RSM's. The drop was just over 1/2" in back and 1" up front. I wasn't under the impression that the springs would drop it a lot, since they are set to run with stock front struts and rear shocks. Gets me down to 325it stock height or just a little below. Happy with the outcome...definitely less roll in the turns and I haven't noticed any real bounce.

Will post pics of the M-Tech bumper once I get around to having it painted and installed.

If any one can help me out with a M-Tech fog light connector/plug housing question, it would be much appreciated.

Yeah… I just bought new sets of rims (tire size 225x45x18 and rim size 18x8.5 offset 40… looking at your car I shouldn't have any problem rubbing correct?? appreciate any advice…thanks!

Nice wheels. That drop can't come soon enough though.

Reviving a seven year old thread about putting the wrong colored wheel on a TOURING? Perhaps an alloy version of the BBS or an CSL would be beautiful, would have been, could have been. Damn newbie!

I'm a wheel newb. I could give you advice, but I wouldn't take it if I were you.

Nice wheels!
