More pics that Justin at Auto Talent took. The better quality photos really highlight how dirty my car was. Hahaha.

Those wheels look beautiful. Def thinking about getting a set but I was just wondering why are people getting 19 up front and 20s in the rear? Is there a reason for this?

Seriously though, my reasoning is a bit convoluted but I'll attempt to explain. I used to have a 2012 F30 335i. A year into ownership I decided to try the 19" front 20" rear set up. I wanted to try this because no one I knew had done this and I always thought that the rear part of the car looked more "bloated" than the sleek front part (not the case with the 4 series/M4). So I always thought that a bigger rear wheel would balance out the look a bit more. Except I made a mistake; I tried to match the overall diameter of the tires. This lead to a very fat front tire and a super thin rear tire. The visual didn't turn out the way I expected. So that was my experiment; it didn't work out. I moved on to getting 20" all around and also regretted it for different reasons. Then I got the F80 and stuck with 19" all around, vowing never to go 20" all around. I think 19" looks better on the F80 vs F30 because of the flared fenders. But the "bloaty" rear still visually over powered the rear 19" wheel. However, I didn't want to go 20" all around, so I stayed happy with the 19". THEN the Corvette Z06, 911 GT3 RS, and M4 GTS happened. The set up started to intrigue me again. And I'm kind of adventurous so I decided to give it a go one more time; with a better tire set up of course. I kind of like to go my own way when it comes to mods (ie: chrome grilles). And as far as I know, nobody has done this set up on an F80 yet. So, like my F30, 1 year into ownership, I thought I'd be the first to try it again on the F80. So I was the first for the F30 and the first for the F80... Maybe the last as this set up doesn't cater to everyone's taste. But honestly, I just secretly want a 67 Mustang Fastback. |

New Signature Monoblock SV101
PM sent.
Track guys demanded even lighter version of the SV101, so here you have it. We found areas in the old design that materials can be removed from without sacrificing structural integrity. The design process required hours of 3-D stress testing and it's now officially VIA/JWL certified. I'm taking orders today.

I finally washed the car. It's forecast to rain again. But the car was looking pretty haggard, so I decided to wash it. Tire dressing adds some contrast and really makes the wheels pop. Last edited by x.shell; 01-04-2017 at 12:58 PM.. |

Again, I don't actually know if the RE71R runs wider. Later on, I'll do an unscientific measurement to check the width difference between my 305 RE11 and the 295 RE71R. Right now, it looks like they're about the same width on 11" wide wheels. |

Signature SV304S
Here's our SV304S in matte black face, gloss black barrel, and black hardware. 20x9 front and 20x12, not very concave due to Lambo Huracan's shallow offset.
