I chronicled the addition of my 18" M Parallel Wheels and Bridgestone Pole Position tires. The wheels are the OE BMW sport wheels 18X8 front and 18X9.5 Rear that were purchased from John @ Bekkers. I purchased the Bridgestone 235/255 tires at the Wheel Works store nearby my home. They matched the prices I got on the Tires.com web site, so I feel pretty good about this. all wheels were balanced and the car was alighned after the new wheels were mounted.

This is what Bettie looked like with the OE 16" basketweaves on her. I think that these wheels really make the car look much more agressive and even lower to the ground.

Here are some shots of the day as Bettie got her new shoes!!
