Tires wheels and brakes coming soon
 
Been slightly busy with the new apartment and work so I haven't really had an opportunity to update.

So after talking to Rob I settled on some new brakes. Doing some CTS V II 6 piston brembos up front and right now nothing in the rear till I figure out what will work with the Moser 12.

So to fit them I needed to up to some 18's and what better wheels to get then some weld wheels RTS. Ordered new and received them in a months time. Black finish with polished lip.

Wrapping the wheels with Toyo R888s which are on back order until April. (On wait list) 275/35R18 front 315/30R18 rear.

Ordered a new on car adjustable panhard to help center the rear. Waiting for BMR to release there watts link to finish up the suspension.

Wheels should look great. Can't wait to see them mounted.

MyFirstZ 03-02-2015 08:45 PM

You and me both!

BonzoHansen 03-02-2015 09:12 PM

I like those wheels.

R888s? Wow, what kind of racing you doing? Are you going to have street tires/wheels too?

MyFirstZ 03-02-2015 09:15 PM

I have a few friends running the same tire on the street and they are absolutely amazing both cars making more power.

Right now the car is a weekend cruiser but hoping to get to some tracks this year to have some fun and test her out

I'm guessing the pic was taken at his work, so BMW ones, either replacements or rebuilds for a customers car.
IF they are for his car though.. more details please.

MyFirstZ 03-25-2015 01:11 PM

Hahaha they are off of a 750 that is getting timing chains and turboshttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...psyjjyf3zv.jpg

Recently. I think MB is copying that design for the GT Coupe thing. I recall reading about it months back.

MyFirstZ 03-29-2015 02:20 PM

Couldn't fit the rear wheels in the car.

Spindles are going for powder coating Monday

Rotors are going to the machine shop Monday as well to have the center hub bored out to fit the 4th gen hubs

After that should be ready for assembly.

These pictures are nowhere near representative of what they looked like in person. Good God!

Mike 03-29-2015 02:48 PM

Why not machine the hymns rather than the rotors? Never know when you may need to do brakes without having time to have them machined

MyFirstZ 03-29-2015 04:50 PM

I guess that can be done but might require more work. Not sure how they could take the metal off the outer diameter of the hub. With the rotor I can bring it to our local shop in Morristown and pick it up later that day
