You're right about to each his own. My great grandfather from Eastern Europe used to say "that's why Stetson makes differents kinds hats." But 4th post or 4000th post, those are hard wheels to love.

Gotta say, that's a really great (BMW) OEM look there.
Are those 215 or 205 tires?

Very nice, from your picture snow is not a problem in your area.
How do you like the ride on the 35s?

Love 'em. Had a nice 2.5 hours of motoring yesterday (to and from my parent's place) and they ride really well on the highway.

I just bought some Enkei J10's today...kinda had to. 2 weeks after buying my MCS I got a flat on the uber expensive run-flats. Who ever owned the car before me apparently liked to ride the rail with the stock rims and scratched the heck out of them. I got a good deal on these rims and tires from Discount Tire.

Ya..I will eventually. This was a spurt of the moment thing that I really was not planning on doing right now. Plus with all the pot holes and speed bumps here in AZ I'm in no hurry to lower my car and bottom out.
