Hey man, I had the same train of thought as you on my Speed 3, really thought red would look sharp so I ordered some red lug nuts. The problem I ran into is that the red on the lugnuts in person, is not as true as what you depicted in your photo shop, more super watered down and close to pink honestly. I ended up going black in the end, and never looked back.

What are used in the rear? Why would i need OEM camber bolts for the front? Wouldnt i already have those, since they are OEM?

These things are new to me, so any help, links, threads, examples, thanks!

For the rear you can get the Whiteline rear camber bushing or any of the rear lower control arms with camber adjustment.

The front OEM camber bolts are just a bolt with a slightly smaller shank that goes through the strut that will help you dial in the camber. Whiteline offers camber bolts too but the OEM are cheaper and will work for most people. Just search for "camber" in the suspension section and you will get a lot of threads to read.

PICTURES ??? DID YOU DO THE DROP !?

jeebus · 12-05-2012, 08:35 PM

it looks really good (or will with a bit of a drop), but how does it feel with all that extra wheel weight?

Miro has been around a long time in BMW circles, and has a so-so reputation. Considering the wheels that these are replicas of (VMR V710) cost around $1000 for a set, I can't see a reason to go with replicas (provided the "real" ones come in the right bolt pattern and fitment).

I got Matte Black V710s for my 330 when VMR released them about 4 years ago. Great looking set of rims.

Did the drop last night. Looks great. I will get some pics up soon. Overall Like how it feels....The suspension was already tight and stiff, and i gotta admit, doesnt feel much worse. Can tell over dips and bumps that is a bit more stiff, but not too much. Everyday driving feels pretty much the same as stock.

lol, these aren't replicas of VMRs. VMRs are replicas of factory BMW wheels. And VMRs are lower quality than Miro. (gravity vs low pressure cast)

VMR makes replica CSL rims, but the 710 isn't a replica of any rim I've ever seen.
