That could mean that the current Style 163's will look really "tucked in" into those front wide fenders (ET47 vs ET29) and much less so into the rear's (ET27 vs ET23).

In other words, wait until some 163's replicas with the right offset start showing up for the E92 M3... they surely will.
Thank you for the link. And I agree, the fronts are all wrong. That is what I was affraid of. I was hoping to buy some for my current car and then use them on an E92 later. No such luck. On the plus side, I am glad they changed the offset on the front because on the current E46 its noticeably less concave and does not look as good as it could.

And yes, before someone says it, I know I could use spacers, but I want the concave look, and plus I have heard horror stories of people breaking studs with spacers (we are talking about ~20mm spacers - not insignificant).

The OEM CSL's are still hard to get and still at $4000+ brand new. The OEM ZCP's are in the $1900 bracket at Turner Motorsport as the link above shows. You could get replicas for around $900 in 19" in places like this... http://www.**********s.com/product.a...-e46-wheels006
Yeah, I provided that turner link. I was asking because of your comment about the CSLs being the cheapest of the M3 wheels. It sounded like you knew where to get them cheap. I guess you were talking about MSRP? That could be true, dunno. Or maybe the replicas you refer to? I don't really want reps. I might still buy the OEMs from turner. Thanks again.
