Alan_525i's new Polished T-Stars

[Jon K]

Hey guys just got back from picking these up from Alan. He wants the t-star covers powdercoated back to silver and we're going to try and do the center caps as well on low heat. We'll see how that works. But anyway, here are his new wheels which I think will transform his car completely.

I will be rocking them until he gets back from Singapore, I can't wait to see how they look on the car!

Excuse the rondells I am refinishing on the right.

Gorgeous, are they OE?

[Jon K]

Yep.

I mounted them up (and im soaked and tired thanks heat) without the covers since we need to refinish those. Looks pretty hot on my car.

Thanks - didn't spend much time taking them the sun light is horribly direct today and there was this like 4" beetle thing flying around so I said eff this and went inside.

Those intercooler pipes look terrifying. Build some for mine.

[Jon K]

Haha turbo it up ;)

I am going to be adding the rieger front lip spoiler now that I have a career, and I can afford to buy silly little ****!

I still buy the dumb ****, and I don't have the money for it. :(

[Jon K]

That's about all I've got.

[Macv]

What camera and how did you acheive those kind of motion shots? I want some.

[Jon K]

I use a Canon 300D with kit lens for the motion, 70-200mm F/4.0L USM for the others.

Its just another one of my hobbies ;)

[Macv]

Your lense cost almost 3x more than the camera.... Nice

[SC David]

Nice shots and nice wheels. Can't wait to see them on Alan's car. His wheels are the only thing I semi-don't like about his car.

[Jon K]

yeah it should look really hot on his car

[brosher]

They look great w/o the covers. He is going to have a hard time getting them back. Use locking lugs! :D

Jon, which green is your car?

[winfred]

decent optics usually exceed the cost of the mount, like on my varmint gun the leupold scope cost almost twice the cost of the rifle despite the fact that i got the scope wholesale and the rifle over the counter (savage 17hmr with lotsa massaging by me)

and it's nothing fancy as scopes go

Jon, which green is your car?
