Why not VW caps? I mean, I know they're BMW wheels but you drive a VW

Just found this on vortex and thought of you so

I thought about VW caps, but for resale I wanted the proper caps for the wheels. not sure I am hyped about running BMW caps yet, but hell I ran Audi ones for years.

Thanks for the pic! I wish I had air already so I would have that fittment!

Why not run VW ones and just have the BMW for backup when/if you resell.

And np, they're the 19's though. 19x9 in front and 19x10 in the rear. I'm pretty sure he sold/traded them for nues too.

Correct, mine will be a more OEM gray with slight metallic flake. I decided I want to run them and perhaps sell later on, just have to see how they look on coils.

oh nice color. the chrome is too obnoxious in my opinion because the wheel design itself already stands out enough. an oem gray with some metallic flake will make it look clean.

Cant wait to see the bimmer wheels on your car, and yeah "disregard females and acquire stance" is one of the best phrases I ever heard

I feel you. -17 here right now with wind chill. Apparently the low tonight is -14 without the wind.
I could barely be bothered to do simple wiring for all the lighting on my car.

Holy shit that's cold. I don't think it's ever gotten that cold here. I don't think my car would ever start in that kinda cold.
