    I honestly don't know what you're referring to opie.

    My comment was in reference to people that try to "upbadge" cars and try to pass them off as higher end models. It's really common around here with BMWs slapping a M3 badge on a 328i or Infiniti G37s with GT-R badges, like c'mon man who are you trying to fool lol. I'm completely fine with taking parts from higher trim models and installing them on lower trim models but once you try to advertise it as the real thing that is where I draw the line.

    Re: A farewell detail

    OK, whew - glad we got that all sorted out. Sorry, my poseur comment was generated by and aimed at myself; glad we’re all using it lightheartedly here though. .

    SNP - that’s exactly the kind of thing I was thinking with the M badges on a non-M (I work mainly on BMW’s so I’ve seen my fair share of “oh, come on…” cars).

    I think S6 wheels for the summer is gonna be the way to go. The wheels that the car came with, while originally not anything that blew me away, have grown on me; but I think the S6 wheels edge them out condition and style wise.

    Works out too as far as mounting and balancing goes. Run the last of the rubber off the S6 wheels; mount the snows on the stock wheels and set aside the summer rubber to go on the S6 wheels once they’re due.
