Cool Spidey paint on the bike!
What kind of rims are those ?.. Me likey! :)

Thanks BIGRIG! Actually I do custom vinyl graphics on motorcylces and my bike is like a moving billboard. All hand cut stickers on my bike. As far as my rims, I went for the AXIS Milano's...

Thanks Dave!

I was considering on the air, but I think there's too much hassles. I didn't want to do too much researching on it, just knowing how much it would be too! I ordered the Basic TEIN adjustable suspension, for performance. I could still play with the height and wouldn't risk losing comfort ride.

Puting drop springs with no shocks will screw up your ridei n time. With the Tein's adjustable, it comes with all the strut assembly and a adjustable perch to lower or lift it to stock height. When lowering your car and if you notice that you have uneven wear, just lift it again and rotate your tires. Another option is to have camber kits.

The last picture of my car lowered is actually photoshopped. Once my Tein's come in I'll take more pictures being dropped. :grin:

I didn't notice that was PS either...good job with that. I've heard good things about the Tein Coilovers...should look great once you get 'em on.

Wow, Thats a kick a$$ photoshop! I would never have guessed.
I was going to ask if they rubbed. Oh well, let me know when you slam it in the weeds :grin:

Why stop there? Let's air bag it, body drop it, shave the door handles and markers!! Ok, I'll stop.... :evil:

Thats pretty talented man. A little overboard for my taste but it's all good! Besides, I wanted the photo to be more realistic to what I wanted to do to my E.

Thanks guys!

I really like that Magnesium Metallic color...As for the pic, those wheels almost look like Mercedes AMG clones, I like 'em. Here's my take on your E...( I have a thing for delivery panel trucks )

Those rims are amazing 808!!! I can't stop thinking about these rims! I am pondering what I can sell to pay for these rims.

Found the link to them:

Here is my second choice:

I was told the 20's would be tight on the E!

Curious to see what you have on yours 808

Those are definitely 20"s. From your Axis link, you can tell by the number of rivets between the spokes. The 20's have five between the spokes while the 19's have only four rivets. Either way, they are some sweet wheels.

I'm running the 20's Milano's and it took awhile to come in because they shipped your second choice, "VIP" model. Silver with machine finish lip. Same spec as my Milano's but different design. To tell you the truth, those VIP's looks pretty sick too! For my car, i'd get the Black face with machine finish lip. I say, spend on what your really want otherwise you'll be saying "I wish, I should've, could've." you know what I mean?

Thanks a lot fendray! Big Island is so beautiful and laid back it's greenery is so nice and not to mention the Volcano actiivity. I myself live on Oahu, the most busiest island of them all. Maybe one day you can make it back to the islands again. Take care and aloha!

Very clean looking ride! Wouldn't mind driving that to zippy's ;)

BTW anyone know a company that makes a similar rim as the milano's but in 18's? I heard that 19's aren't a good choice just because the tire size is not too common. They told me to either get 18's or 20's.
thanks

Funny you mentioned Zippy's, I picked up some chili and mac salad on the way home. YUMMY!

I think 19's is common, as far as the style rims, I think they are similar to the Racing Harts, Monets, and maybe ADR's?
