Welcome, very nice, very nice indeed. I like your artsy shots. Your 03 looks very sharp, classic subtle DS. What tires do you have mounted on the BBS 17's?

Some Pirelli run-craps that will be the first thing to go.

Yes, they did.

And the two days I spent detailing the car probably helped some.

I just picked up an '03 with 11,000 miles on it. It has JCW wheels with Nitto 215/35 x 18 tires and I can't figure out what to do about the run flat issue. I love this car tho!
