m3forum is fine, some e46 m3 offset will fit, just not m3post where people only cares about e9x m3 fitment.

[M_BYEEE]

Lol seriously riz...you cannot run m3 offsets and especially super aggressive ones.

He has a 335i so looking for wheels on M3Forum is kind of pointless since 99% of them will not work.

m3post is pointless for him, but m3forum . net that has e46 M3 wheels are fine

e46 M wheels can fit non-M e9X depending on specs

[WesleyC]

Sorry, I meant to say M3Post.

[WesleyC]

Btw, I thought the e46 M3 could run something like 19 x 9 +25 on the front. Something like that definitely wouldn't work on the e92 (non M).

For me... i'm a basic open water diver but would love to get my NatGeo Specialty, Digital Underwater Photography, Night Diving and Ice DIving certifications. Technically i'm only supposed to stay under 60 feet aust advanced is 60-100ft and deep diver is 60-130ft. Once you start doing enriched oxygen dives, those guy will go to like 200ft. hahaha

Is all that specialty stuff for naui or padi? Ive never heard of any of that but its been so long since I did my class. I usually try to stay around the 60' range on scuba so I dont have to think about a deco stop. U/W photo can be fun, Ive had to do it a few times for work but always try to take some pics of whatever critters I see. Here is a cool one of some anemones I got on one of the rigs in the SB channel.

padi... none of them are mandatory so they don't really teach about it unless you're interested in advancing. I believe it takes 3 specialty courses to earn Advanced Open Water Diver.

excellent shot... wish i could get myself an ikelite for my 40d and some extendable strobes also. =(

deco stops suck but i end up going past 60 whenever i dive... usually by accident cause i hate looking at my instruments hahaha.

you dive for work? that's fucking AWESOME. can i go with you? lol

[WesleyC]

All this talk of diving makes me want to go lol. How much is it?

It can be done, but its not a super easy fit.
19x9+27 front

19x10+22 FRONT

Yea but look at how stretched those tires are lol. Riz doesn't want any stretch. Plus, it would look retarded on a car that isn't lowered.

Nikonos IV's and V's are real cheap now, you could go old school and shoot 35mm, no housing needed. Ive shot those a few times, hard to go back after the instant gratification of digital tho.

Eh, its not as cool as it sounds. I do surface supplied commercial diving. Most of the time is spent working on oil rigs and pipelines diving in shitty vis and living on a boat for weeks at a time with a bunch of guys But sometimes it really is fun when we get to dive in nice clear water way out in the gulf of Mexico with awesome fish everywhere or going to 200-300' and seeing some of the deep water fish and stuff.

Ya, the 10's have too much stretch for my taste. 225/35 on a 9 isnt bad tho, and it is within tireracks recommended range of sizes for that width, so its probably not technically a stretch fitment at all. But I also agree it would look very poor on a car that's not lowered, aftermarket wheels do in general with stock suspension regardless of fitment tho

dannggg HRE is coming out with a new series! whoo

Umm.. you can't say you'll go get some VMRs and then also be seriously considering getting new HREs..... the price point is too different

1200 for VMRs, about 4-8k for HREs

If you seriously want a top notch wheel like DPEs/HREs/BBS/ADV1/Volks, then you need to know exactly what it is you want and be prepared to spend $

It's like saying you want an Evo, but then might get a BMW if it's nice enough (i.e. nothing wrong with VMRs or Evo, but they're in a completely different price point than top notch wheels/BMW)
