Bronze Volk TE37's or Brushed black/gunmetal BC Forged HB 05's?

Will7.62 · 08-16-2013, 09:34 PM

Just a quick poll to see what you guys think. One or the other. My MR E92 M3 needs some new shoes. Thanks.

PS. I know it's a matter of opinion... I just want to hear what you all think.

Pics of my car as is. It will be lowered at the same time.

turboboosted · 08-16-2013, 11:33 PM

HB05 or HB29

Will7.62 · 08-17-2013, 01:10 AM

HB05. I like the 29's also but I see less people with the 05.

DevJ · 08-17-2013, 03:06 PM

Looks like I evened out the vote by choosing one over the other

pkimM3r · 08-19-2013, 02:50 AM

Volks. Who is bc racing? Do they even race?!

BIU · 08-19-2013, 03:08 AM

No offence to BC Racing (I do think some of the "designs" are quite nice)...

But when one is contemplating a choice between Volks and BC Racing... you ALWAYS choose Volks...

Will7.62 · 08-19-2013, 10:39 AM

Bought the Volks. Will update with pics as soon as they are on the car.

Powerbeast · 08-19-2013, 10:45 AM

Can't go wrong with TE's

Without a doubt, Volk. RE30 is also a winner on MR, here's a couple of examples:

Melbourne Red on TE37

Melbourne Red on RE30 Clubsports

Either way, we have you covered.

M3ANMACHINE · 08-19-2013, 12:47 PM

Haven't bought any springs yet. Looking at the best options right now. Thinking H&R springs at the moment.

Will7.62 · 08-19-2013, 02:11 PM

Can anyone tell me why the 18in TE's look like they have more concave than the 19's? I bought 19's but the spokes look very straight compared to shots I've seen of the 18inch versions.?!?

18's and 19's have a different design even though they share the same width and similar offsets.

19's have a lip and less concave. 18's have a smaller lip and more concave.

jacobe92 · 08-19-2013, 02:44 PM

Different strokes for different folks. I'm partial to Bronze TE37.

That can vary depending on the width of the wheel that your referring to, offset, etc.

BTW, I dropped you a PM

Got it. I'll let u know.

Will7.62 · 08-30-2013, 04:10 PM

Thanks to everyone that voted. Went with the Volks. Maybe the look will grow on me. I have H&R springs in the trunk and will post a final pic once I find a shop to install and align after. A pic of the car with my new wheels. Let me know what you think.

Endless619 · 08-30-2013, 04:21 PM

Suspension then wheels.

So my vote would be for coilovers.

positiveions · 08-30-2013, 07:12 PM

The car looks good with those wheels.

carlos@velosdesignwerks · 09-03-2013, 10:43 AM

once its lowered, and maybe a vorsteiner front cf lip =

jacobe92 · 09-03-2013, 12:14 PM

Two thumbs up! I know it's only temporary but she's just SCREAMING to be lowered. Don't forget to mention and post pictures of her stance and the wheel offsets.
