Also i would appreciate if someone used them and has anything to share in terms of it being a good choice or not, thanks.

As far as I know, HRE custom makes its wheels, so you can spec it to whatever works on your car. They've also done a ton of wheels for the M3 and will have no problem building you a set that works.

The only thing better would be full slicks (40 treadwear).

+1 on the wheel set up. You may want a 5-10 mm spacer to push the rear wheels out a little, but not required.
This 18x10 ET25 set up also works because of tire availability. One of the most common tires to use is 275/35/18 (check tirerack)... from street tires to DOT-R.
