While Dorothy was busy killing green people for red shoes*, AuntieM (AuntyM? Still working on the spelling) was polishing herself up the for the Paddy’s Day Corned Beef and Cabbage buffet—seriously, the cabbage explains the exhaust note, LOL.
Like many older German ladies, eM’s not a super model, though she has an austere beauty and she’s not fallen victim to excesses in schnitzel. She is, however subject to flattery and so was roped in by the GlamourShots kiosk at the mall where Tammy, the portly, struggling wedding photographer, convinced her to get take some (poorly composed and horribly lit) pics to show off the new shoes. Fortunately eM turned down the feather boa, although it was for hygienic rather than stylistic reasons.
Amazing the difference the 18s and AS3s are making in the car. Love the drive that much more.
A couple more (worse) pics follow.
Previous threads can give you something to do while your on the john for the third time this morning and need 30 minutes to fly by.:

* And eM is still disappointed that her flighty niece brought such a smear on the family as the first recorded instance of shoe-related robbery prior to the sneaker wars that started with the original Jordans.

Wheels look great! Although I may be a little partial to the style...Here’s mine.

Lovely! I'll forever be wondering if I should've gone with silver

Silver “pops” but I think it looks better in 19". Bright silver makes the tires look fatter than they are on an 18" wheel (on this car anyway). I like the darker silver on yours, speically when combined with Oxford Green/black badges.
My winter set for my dd is the same style, but I went with black over silver because snow tires on 18" wheels made it look like a monster truck.

Nothing when we’re talking about an actual monster truck, just not the best look on a compact coupe/sedan.

I’ve got to agree with Trip - those wheels look great with Oxford Green.
I’ll add my own Imola Red to the M3 cabrio party, with the original 19" wheels looking somewhat out of place dodging cones, but having fun doing it. :) Also, the guy with the 135i in the background looks to have a set similar to yours.

Yours looks great! I’ve got the same 19"s. The guy in the 135 looks to have the ARC-8 model, also from APEX. In fact, there looks to be a group buy for them going on now.
Here’s the link to the look on the cars. Such a purposeful-looking bit of kit.

Here’s a set on one of my all-time faves:

Sweet shoes for sweet clownshoes. The black is nice, but those look brilliant on the red one.
