Finally Got Rid of the Fugly Wheels! -

**Shuasha** · 12-26-2007, 11:43 PM

For a while I kept changing my mind about the 525iT, so it was neglected. Now I'm actually working on it so I got new summer wheels/tires and winter wheels/tires. I picked up some M Parallel reps from GameDemon with snow tires and took the fuglies off. Here are the garage pics, I have tons of wheel gap since I didn't move the car after having it up on the jack. Suspension IS coming though.

Now I have to figure out WTF the old wheels were to sell them. They're TSW brand, but I can't find them anywhere on the TSW site. Maybe they were too ugly to own up to?

Here's what the ugly wheels looked mounted.. not on the TSW site at all.

Tomek has his plasma cutter ready for some fun if I don't sell them.

Seems sad to waste them if they could be used for track wheels or something.

Those ugly things are called TSW Supermodel, I'd like to consider myself a wheel guru when it comes to naming wheels and what's hot.

+1, but I would maybe take some dark real grainy cellphone pictures before you post them. You might not find a buyer if you post big clear pictures of them bad boys . . . .
