wheels are colored mag blue, not actual mags. The exhaust is our Agency Power brand and we do alot of them Ti tips. The exhaust is HUGE so a full Ti exhaust would be insane. Car sounds great, everyone is stoked on that If the car had different color brakes, it would look better. But hey who hates on FREE!

yeah, i guess there's two of everything under that car, as opposed to my one straight-back, cat-less, muffler-less, and resonator-less pipe ...still, it would be cool if there was an option for an all-Titanium exhaust for those who were willing to pay the price. i know there are plenty of BMW ballers who would be willing to pay for a product like that...

nevertheless, the car looks fabulous...keep up the good work .

I think the 335 has a higher fun factor potential than an E46 M3. Wheel choice subjective but congrats on the work completed.

The TE37 are extremely light. Probably about 18lbs in front and 21lbs in the rear.

HERE is a comprehensive wheel weight database. a 19 x 9.5 TE37 weighs just under 21 lbs, just to give you an idea of how light they really are. even the standard (non-magnesium) TE37's are lighter than most BBS, Kinesis, TechArt, etc. wheels that many people sport here. at any rate, they are bound to be lighter than a 335i's OEM wheels.

Sounds more like an opinion than a comeback, bro

My opinion, and obviously that of a lot of others (judging by the responses on "the other boards" about this car), is that the Japanese flavor just doesn't look good on a German car. But, it looks like you definitely have the support of a Supra and Celica owner, which may be the exact demographic you're trying to impress.

Dan - Of course you are going to have this type of feedback, and you know this. I, for one, like what you have done to it and appreciate the different approach. If there weren't people like you trying to mix it up, we would all end up driving the same looking modified car.

but at the same time i never expected all opinions to fall at either one end of the spectrum or the other. i mean i can understand that even an enthusiast might find the look "unattractive." But as an enthusiast myself, there's something about the "form follows function" approach that makes this car attractive.

also, i wouldn't just throw me into a particular demographic based on the cars i own. i chose the Supra over Porsche and BMW. had i not found this diamond in the rough, i'd be driving either an e46 M3 or a 996 Carrera. i know Volk isn't a wheel brand you often see on Porsche's, but its a trend that's catching on. think about it - Neez and Work are both popular wheel brands with the Porsche crowd (and the euro crowd in general), and they are both manufactured in Japan. i guess i'm just trying to figure out if people genuinely don't like the look of TE37's, or if its just this particular car/wheel combination that people don't like, b/c i see alot of posters already who are jaded by the "rice" stigma. i mean lets face it, this car does not look like a Civic with BMW badges...it looks that way to someone b/c he/she is used to seeing these wheels on Japanese cars, not German cars. someone needs to break the mold, innovate, and mix it up a bit, just like Jedidiah said above.
