Congratulations to Eli (Mimalmo) for winning July 2011 ZHP Mafia Car of the Month!
http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg283/mimalmo/Cars%20and%20Coffee%20Minneapolis%20April%202011/P1120044.jpg

Please take a look at the updated rules for August's contest. Let me know if I forgot any new rules that we discussed.

To enter a car for ZHP Mafia Car of the Month, you must nominate another member's car by posting a picture of it in this thread. You CAN NOT nominate your own car. Please only post one picture, so choose wisely. Also, please no NSFW pictures. It doesn't matter how modded or stock the car is. If the thread continues, I'm going to limit each member to winning only once a year, so everyone gets a chance to win. I'm only taking the first 10 entries and then I will start a new thread for the voting. The winner gets bragging rights and a picture of their car on the ZHPMafia.com homepage.

Thanks!

BTW: there should be an "m" in the middle of my username not an "n". You missed it a couple times there. ;)

Hmmm... can we nominate a user that isn't necessarily active? Lurks per se? Or should they be active?

By the way, guys, do not nominate me. I would rather someone else get their car in on the action.

I don't think it should matter, Bill. Active or inactive.

Okay. Then I'm nominating 330i ZHP's (Stu) touring (build thread here (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=522195)).

There are more recent and up to date pics with his new mods (e.g. M3 rear fenders, new hood, front plate delete strip) (like this one (http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd62/smoulton0204/wagon/wagon30.jpg)), but this is a really decent full car shot.

Those are 19s. Just a bad angle. Wheels are the same size.

mimalmo

07-01-2011, 09:52 PM

^^ how big are those wheels and why does the front wheel look significantly bigger than the rear wheel? angle?

Also, up to what size wheels can you put on ZHPs without losing performance? I heard that wheels that are too big are actually bad for the car.

Marcus is right, it's the angle. They are indeed 19's. 17's would probably give me the fastest lap times but honestly, right now the car gets me to and from the airport weekly or is sitting in my garage. Someday I hope to track it, just not now.

They are staggered 19's. Plus 1 from stock 18's. The rears are 19x9.5 with 255 tires. Stock ZHP wheels are 29 lbs and these wheels are 24 lbs. Bigger wheels are not necessarily bad for any car as long as the offsets are correct. Lighter the better, if its heavier then it will slow the car down a tiny bit. The only negative with bigger wheels are slight inaccuracy of the speedometer at higher mph and ever so slightly slow down your odometer but I dont have complaints on that. :-)

^^ how big are those wheels and why does the front wheel look significantly bigger than the rear wheel? angle?

Also, up to what size wheels can you put on ZHPs without losing performance? I heard that wheels that are too big are actually bad for the car.

It says post one picture, not one car. For all I know it could just mean one picture per car, which is why I asked.

Point taken. I see what you mean.

If I am reading your interpretation of the rules correctly and this was the case, 1 person could be "first"... and nominate 10 photos of 10 different cars for the monthly contest. Effectively closing the nomination period and preventing others from nominate cars. :dunno

Not that any of us would consider doing that here... :shift

Each person can nominate only one car...and that person can only nominate a car once per month. That's the clarification.
