New to the forum and just bought an 03 S with 83K miles. I was wondering if the wheels are painted like the bmw's are or if they are powdercoated. I was wanting to paint mine black.

I am debating lowering the car and was looking at lowering springs. Whats everyones thoughts on using them and which brand would be the best. I have used Eibachs in the past.

Whats the best performance mod for the $? 17% reduced supercharger pulley? Does anyone know what the diameter is on a factory pulley so I can make sure one hasn't been put on already since there are a few other upgrades already like the intake and exhaust.

Car is an 03 S with 83K miles, 6 speed, leather, winter package, borla exhaust, intake.

Thanks, Jake

 

Can't go wrong with H&R springs or even a set of coilovers which aren't terribly expensive for these cars.
