    My E30 will do wheelies when I put these light weight racing JDM spec wheels on it.  Plus Snap Understeer is my tuner, so SHOC power will flow from my car like the mighty Mississippi.  My car won't even move or wheelie, it will in fact be the earth shifting due to the immense amount of torque.  Give me hoosiers, and I will cause the earth to shift far enough toward the sun that Wisconsin will have the same climate as Columbia, also the cocaine.

      I did a little poking around on the interwebs and found out Goo Gone and Goof Off kill plasti-dip like a female praying mantis kills the male after mating.

      The stuff.

      The results.

          Disappointed. Hoping to see video of an e30 doing wheelies. I heard a myth on here a while ago about a local e30 doing wheelies on the street...haha

          Truth's aren't myths. Numerous people witnessed it. Dunno why I'd try to lie to impress you guys, hate half of you anyway

            What color are you going to paint them?  90's Pontiac theme is my vote.  Red on red.

                    I'm semi-offended that you aren't okay with my 45min spray painting job that gave these rotating wonders their black magic.  <<

                      Got in my wheelie spacers! Oh boy! I have some serious scuffing/painting ahead. Hopefully I'll be mounting these bad boys up next weekend.

                        Nice! I wonder where Dr Leadfoot got these from... I had these same wheels on my e30 back in the day--and those blue caps look familiar.

                        ...which I got from this car:

                                So per Early's suggestion, I ordered a wheel bolt kit for my E30.  Hopefully it will be coming by the end of the week and I can get some more done on the wheels.  All the wheels are stripped but one.  It is stubborn as hell.  Damn you Dr. Leadfoot and your dip/paint/dip!  I think Im going to paint these wheels crazy as they are my winter setups.

                                    Sorry Z, I had to find out the hard way about wheels, so it was all on me & my lack of knowledge. I just don't think it's worth the weight savings, very good looking wheels tho.

                                      These will just be for winter. Not for swag (swag swag swag). They look good on my monster truck.

                                        What studs did you order from Ryan? Wheels look pretty good. What'd you use for paint? Is that the old trunk from one of your parts cars?

                                          I just got the basic silver stud kit. Went in awesome. I just stripped off the black, and left them silver til I get more time to make them wild. Yes, that's off Tony's old 325 sedan.
