New shoe for my humble ride.

Finally decided to take the plunge and changed to a new set of rims for my humble 125i. Coincidently, bro Wilson brought in a nice set of rims - ForgeStar F14, which fits perfectly for my ride.

Wheels

ForgeStar F14, 18", Brushed Aluminium

Tires - Front
Conti CSC3, 225/40 R18, non-runflat

Tires - Back
Conti CSC3, 255/35 R18, non-runflat

It was a nice saturday afternoon, drove over to Upper Thomson Road Prata House for lunch, then head over to BOSS. The new Forgestar wheel already waiting for me :shakemyb:

Nice looking rims, isn't it ? The shine so beautiful, and as Wilson said, it changes colour according to the surrounding and lighting :dance::dance:

Its time now ! Getting ready to remove the old shoes which had been serving me well.

One by one, off they go. Still got some nice old feeling about them as was hand-washed by myself only :verysad:

Finally naked now. The big fat yellow Performance brake looks really big, first time seeing them completely :yikess:

Fitting in the rubber. Was praying hard my rims will not be scratched as heard horror stories about it :roll: But luckily, they were done professionally, although it was very fast. Guess they were doing this every day, and so used to it :D:D

Here comes the new shoe ! :shakebon::shakebon::shakebon:

Looks good ?

Fitment was perfect, nicely fit and sitting on the stock M-suspension. It was actually even lowered after driving a few rounds. Even the "yellow banana" looks so good now :woottt::woottt:

Perfect flushed :thumbsup: It has been so difficult to find new shoe for 125i due to the offset which limits the choices, but this Forgestar F14 nicely fit into the car as it was designed and built for the 125i chassis.

Looking good, isn't it ? :cloud9::cloud9:
I like it personally, and the looks just grows on me everyday. Just had a good wash yesterday, and was admiring it, swee swee :p:p

:goodup::goodup:
