!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Picking her up coming weekend, and after that, give her a nice detail and winter tires fitment. I now have two cars with two nostrils.

CarProof actually came out clean, only thing bad on the record was that it’s an out of province vehicle. Other than that, a few scratches on the bumpers and a bad A/C fan which they said they will fix.

ALTHOUGH when I took it to my mechanic today, he noticed a weird wider than normal panel gap near the A-pillar on the passenger side. Although we looked really hard, it does not look repainted at all, or they did a really good job fixing it. I’m just going to assume someone put their ass on the fender and loosened a bolt. Told the dealer to try to straighten it out for me, if not I’ll do it myself ( used to adjusting my fender all the time, perils of owning a handbuilt car ). Didn’t notice anything else on my LONG drive from the dealer to my mechanic, I’m surprised the dealer even let me do it, they were in a different towns.

PS: suggestions on which I should get for my winter rims?

EDIT: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , thanks S65.

Neither of them looks easy to clean, and black is a horrible color in winter, so I’d say: get something else! We’ve got the BBS SR from the picture on the GTI, and they do not show dirt at all.

Honestly though, get whatever you like best, you’ll have to look at them every day.

Also: two great looking cars you’ve got there!

This should work

I was actually thinking about that just now. Might not be a bad idea to get some steelies with BMW centre caps.

Top rim.

And I’ve more than a few people say they liked the looks of the Saturn better. I go back and forth, but if confronted with a choice, I’d take the Pontiac. A memory of a better time.

Woof. For a second there I thought you bought the Solstice. LOL.

Congrats!

You could get some OEM covers.

Was it an ex-rental? Also, B.

Though I would get OEM Style 396s when it comes to winter wheels.

Winter should be A. Wider gaps are better. Snow can collect on smaller details and cause wheel imbalance. And the last thing you need is to be getting out of the car on a highway in the snow during a snowstorm.

Don’t think so. If it was registered with a rental company it would’ve showed up on the report.

Ah, ok. The Enterprise behind it made me wonder...

Ah no, that’s just the outlet for the dealership.

But there’s something about centre caps that’s just... alluring.

They fit the look of the E46, but look wrong on the F30 IMO.
