Nice build!

johnhol · 01-12-2019, 04:46 PM

Very nice dude, love the trim on the side scoops....going to need those in my life soon..any chance you have a link?

Also rims are very nice, still have my 19" 467 wheels.... 😞

Mr.47 · 01-12-2019, 05:14 PM

That's a really nice build, love the rims!!

spacegray_f15 · 01-12-2019, 05:28 PM

Thanks guys! they are Vorsteiner VFF109's just got them! I have been through way too many sets of wheels before getting to this point. Lol

spacegray_f15 · 01-12-2019, 05:30 PM

First set was a set of 22" replica 310m style rim

M302_imola · 01-12-2019, 05:52 PM

Love what you've done but actually like the 22" 310M rep style wheels better. Was there a reason other than aesthetics why you switched?

I switched cause they were super heavy and I wanted a different stance

r33_RGSport · 01-12-2019, 06:20 PM

Finally!!!

DuSh · 01-12-2019, 06:46 PM

Drastic change - like night and day!

spacegray_f15 · 01-12-2019, 07:30 PM

Next set of wheels were Vorsteiner VFF 107 😂

clubspec330i · 01-12-2019, 07:31 PM

Love the color and the build.

More pictures please.

maDjzo · 01-12-2019, 07:46 PM

Beautiful color, Space Gray/Black combo is sick.. Nice ride!

daytonaviolet · 01-12-2019, 07:48 PM

I'm running HR springs on the front and eibach in the rear, it sits pretty even, the rear isn't as high as that first pic

I had eibach all around but wanted it a little lower in the front, and just happened to find someone selling the front two HR off a crashed x5 so I bought them. Thinking about doing the HR rear ones too

brevets10000 · 01-12-2019, 08:21 PM

Nice

Have been a white car guy for a long time until I bought my f15 Space Gray / black

Which side vent are you using?

Ah!! So you are the one who can finally tell us all about first hand difference between Eibach and H&R! How are they really? Tell us the truth!

You really need the M brake kit with these wheels. The wheel design leaves a lot of empty space, imo.
