The driveway will be looking better for sure! And very similar? LOL I just looked them up. Solo-werks S1's are $500 plus shipping from ECS. Not a bad deal at all.

patsbimmer1 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Was it the buy 3 get 1 free from ECS? My brother in law bought some 18's on my account for $380 shipped! For the pricing they had it was totally worth it! GunMetalGrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that you had the in at ECS, I should've asked you first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a little more stiff than stock, but the car feels much better around corners. I'm happy with them. New wheels went on last night.

Nope, just broke one trying to put it in the wrong wheel. Apparently the rear wheels have a slightly larger cap than the fronts, and I tried putting a big cap in a small hole. Never works out.

I have a printout at home and don't recall the exact specifics. But everything is evened out and in the green, except for camber. The front is at ~1.6* and the rear is at ~2.2* (if my memory serves me correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reckedhim Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I have those same wheels on my e90 for my winter set up. They look better on your car. I don't like the way they look on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
