In Reply to: finally...MK Motorsport pics! posted by bert on July 23, 2000 at 23:56:33:
local chapter CCA took a 50 mile drive to go eat cajun food last
night...rallied at a mall parking, so i popped a few pics of the newly
upgraded wheel/tire setup on my 535i before we rolled...three
different angles on the pics so that you can see what it looks like
coming and going...last pic really shows the incredibly deep dish on
these rims...the M3 in the background belongs to our chapter president...
for those who haven't been following the never-ending saga of Bert's
Wheel Upgrade (i'm getting Breyton Magics because they have a deep
lip...Nuno says that Breytons DON'T have that deep of a lip...Roy says
check out the RH Alurad Schnitzer replicas...i'm getting the RH Alurad...
then the MK's catch my eye--now THAT is a DEEP LIP! "Hello...I would
like to order a set of MK1's...what do you mean there aren't any in the
United States right now?!") the setup is 8.5 x 18 fronts with Sumitomo
HTR Z2's 235/40 and 10 x 18 rears with Sumitomo 265/35...

IMO, just my $.02, blah, blah, it looks great AS-IS. I wouldn't paint the lower cladding silver as some suggested. Without the oem cladding or a VERY SUBTLE body kit, the repainted ones (gloss paint on oem chipguard finish, non-smooth surface...i've seen a few) look bad and make the car seem taller, especially from the rear when the lower portion of the rear bumper is done to match. I like the lower cladding as it came from the factory--looks good black on the early e34s, looks good matching color on the later e34s. Like i said, just my $.02...
