Alot's happened in the last month and a half,  I quit both my jobs at the bank and Waste Management. Moved 100 miles, back home. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years. yada yada.

Not alot's happened to the BMW, I cut the rear fenders for more clearance/low. Fronts got shaved and pulled.

Went to DIV (Dubs in the Valley) in Oshkosh Wisconsin, had a BLAST!

I made the stupid comment after shaving and pulling the fronts of, "I hope someone cuts themselves on those fenders. Guess what, it happened, but it was my hand. Cut a ton of nerves, and have a huge dead spot in my hand. OH WELL.

After having the BBS Style 19's for a few months, I finally got unlazy. And took them off.  Was getting sick of seeing the chipped clear coat, and corrosion+ rusty hardware....

These are never going to look perfect again. They got pitted badly. But for what I had in mind, they'd work again.

After letting the air craft stripper fit for about 15 minutes, I removed it, and what laid underneath was like my first experience seeing a playboy magazine as a kid. I was speechless. So much nicer looking underneath that faded and cracked clear coat.

Then  we decided to reverse mount these.

I'm kidding.

This happened though, and I'm okay with this.
