Advan RS Racing Hyper Silver on an E46 M3

The Advan RS is a more than stellar wheel.
Weighing barely 20lbs and with the bowed spokes that run deep in the center, the RS are one of my all time favorite wheels.

This E46 M3 looks so clean with the vorsteiner front and the subtle Carbon fiber lip.

The more I look at this, the more I think the E46 has classic lines that are just timeless.

Klassen K5.0 Wheels

Simply amazing is all I gotta say.
Not all cars can pull of the "Black Out" look but this is totally killer.

135i Wheel Clearance Measurement Day

135i Wheel Clearance Measurement Day, originally uploaded by wheelsto.

It was a relatively nice day in Chicago, and we decided to take some Brake Clearance measurements for our 135i.
The 135i is one BMW that really doesn't seem to follow any of its brothers and sisters, whether it be the size, looks or the brakes.

The brake calipers on the 135i are huge, especially considering the size and weight of the Mini Bimmer (it's a beast at hear nonetheless..).

Although, large in appearance, the "x-factor" was a little small and of course the back spacing and front spacing were also small. This is a nightmare for 3pc wheel companies as this set up is not favorable for "fat-lip" wheels.

I just hope that our buddies over at Klassen can pull it off. I have my hopes up and I am confident that they will pull it off, just nice.
