Fire orange is so ballrr!

I like the stock ZCP wheels powdercoated gunmetal (+ 15/12 spacers) on fire orange.

Would save you a lot of $$$ by not going with HRE's and could put that money to an exhaust or partially to a supercharger.

If you can afford HRE's, get them. No option for a center cap for the new TE37SL as of right now, although it is being worked on.

No centre cap shouldn't be a deal breaker lol

There are centre cap adapters anyway

Got the TE37 SL 19"'s myself and love them! Get tons of compliments and they are super light weight and easy to clean. As iamcpap stated, they do not have center caps, but a quick wire brush on the hubs and black paint (not with the rims on of course) and it looks better than center caps if you ask me.

I personaly like the te37 sl's with out the center caps, gives them a more race inspired look

Congrats on the order, I'm debating whether to go Fire Orange or Space Gray myself

I personally don't like the TE37's, AT ALL! I had HRE P40's on the GT3 and loved them. I think the P43 looks amazing on the M3's.

Congrats my friend!

I'm excited for the path ahead of you. My one tip of advice is Do. Your. Research. Make sure you keep a vision of your car in mind when picking out your mods, and don't ever buy on impulse. I'm 12 months into modding my E92, and I just put on my new rims about 2 months ago. After looking over all my options, it finally came down to the 18" TE37. Here's mine below, I hope it helps in your decision-making process

Happy modding!

This is true^ Do it right the first time and when it comes to buying parts you can either pay up now or pay more later.
