They should have been the factory wheels

I think they set the car off great! I like a beefy tire and these definitely fit that bill.

Took me a LONG time to find a set...if I found a good deal, they were gone in record time. I think I posted a WTB ad in the M3/M4 section and someone contacted me with a set they had...The only problem with that is some people think you are desperate if you have a WTB ad and will pay any amount...NOT!

Yeah this the issue I'm facing. I saw a set once for $1500 not sure what they're going for.

I'm more of a function and performance guy aesthetic 2nd. These wheels not only look amazing, but the open spokes make the calipers stand out as well if they're painted. And perfect balance like you said the beefy tire just looks so darn good on these rims.

I got a pretty good deal. I ended up paying $1750 shipped for wheels and tires. I bought another set of TPMS for $150. I was looking at Vorsteiner wheels also and couldn't touch a set of those for what I paid for these including tires. Tires were in great shape...and still are.

What's up dice! I ended up getting my set but I'm waiting to install them after I had an unfortunate accident

That is a damn good deal for quality OEM M rims with tires. Yea Vorsteiner are big bucks...I would be so paranoid leaving the car with that much money bolted up. Chicago areas can be rather unkind lol

Hey man! Oh no..an accident? ARGH! Hope you are OK? Cars can be repaired or replaced...you can't!

That is one reason I went with 18's...I had 19's on my E90 and they got screwed up with potholes...I swore I wouldn't do that again!

Just out of curiosity, what tire pressures are you guys running?

[Arthurrs]

Just updated my post with a few more pics at the request of a forum member. This time I took the pictures during the daytime so you can see the colours a bit better.

Oh and after you get your tires mounted, check your air pressure, mine was way too high, almost made the ride feel like I had run flats again!! Once I reduced the pressure to factory recommended settings, the ride was amazing!

Those look really good! I like the bronze finish with your AW.

[R32DBP]

Thanks! I really like the way they came out too but now I itching for suspension even more so than before. I used to run 19's for the summers and the gap didn't look too bad. However, I like the meaty tire fitment more.

Looks good. I was going back and forth on those wheels and the V710's.

I like the meaty tire too...that is also why I went with 18's. I had 19's on my e90 and although I liked them, I didn't like the rubberband look.

A big thanks to Arthurrs for his help. I ended up getting a different set of wheels with the same specs. I know my tires are a little narrow, but they'll have to do for now. I included a pic showing how much space there is between the tire and the rim for those curious when fitted with stock size tires on an 8.5".

Any rubbing with this? Looking at doing the same setup and wheels but with the EC7 which is 18x9.5 et43 in the back. Any views strait from the back? Is there any poke or is it mostly flush?
