Hi all. Had an 08 s, went back full size car for 6 months, now I'm back. This was taken right before delivery of 2011.

Good location to photograph your car. I like it.

Summer wheels have got to come off next weekend, so I got some shots last night... Hopefully by the time they go back on in the spring, I'll have some black calipers.

Thanks - wish I could have gotten out of the driveway and found a place with wide open sky. But after a couple of Saranac Lake brews, that wasn't feasible.

Put my black wheels on temporarily until I can get a puncture repaired hopefully (4 week old tyre!!) in one of the original tyres which is close to side wall



Almost two months old now and just passed 700 miles

I have a question. Why run a wheel so wide that the tire does not properly fit and the rim of the wheel protrudes so far out from the sidewall of the tire? I am just curious. I have seen a few people do this. I fail to see the logic. Can someone please explain this to me?

To me, this is how a tire should properly look on a wheel.

All About The Stance. Although he is not low enough...
People mostly do it to go as low as they can. With tires like yours its hard to go very low. It also looks good when the rims are flush with the fenders... There is not much function. Mostly for looks (form) haha

It is more than likely to be an "S" model with a JCW Stage 1 kit installed. That is, if the badge really means something.
