Most likely 31f/25r like the non-painted ZCP wheels.

here is one crappy picture for now. I'll post more when the snow is gone and when the dinan springs get installed. I went with 12mm spacers on the front and 5mm in the rear. When I do the spring installation I'm switching the rear spacer to a 10mm because the 5mm just isn't enough.

Beautiful!

Just to be clear, the spacers are an option, right? The wheels I was looking at did not actually require spacers for M3 fit.

Yes, when I had the 19" 220 wheels that the car came with I used 15mm front and 12mm rear. The spacers aren't needed, but I put them on to push the wheel out farther for a more aggressive look. It makes a huge difference in the appearance of your car. EAS has a thread that shows several examples. It's a night and day difference and you can decide how aggressive by the size of spacer you use. I had to use smaller spacers for these than I did on the 220 wheels because the offset was already a little more aggresive from the factory. The wheels you see on my car now are the BMW OEM 359 GTS wheel from BMW. They are the same specs as the wheels offered on the ZCP option except the GTS's are black from the factory vice silver.

It's also possible to run 18mm front and 12mm rear spacers, even when lowered. Pics:

I'm running 255 fronts and 285 rears, not the stock 245f/265r, so I don't that would work. I'm going with 12mm front and 10mm rear. What do you think.

anthony @ eas · 12-29-2010, 06:21 PM

^^ Yeah, your 12/10 would probably be the wiser choice with those tires.

ersin · 12-29-2010, 07:02 PM

So these are the same wheels that EAS advertises as Matte Black, but are really a Satin Black? They look like the E46 M3 18" Chrome Shadow finish which I loved. Too bad they weigh so much. They do look very nice. And decently priced too. I might have to consider these.

Cheers.

No, the matte one's they advertise are the ZCP 359 competition wheel that they powder coat matte black. These are the 359 GTS wheels from BMW that come in Satin black from the factory. Same as the zcp wheel except bmw puts the finish on them. They are OEM and EAS ordered them from BMW for me.

Not so impressive for a "Motorsport" wheel. I would have expected numbers closer to the RACs like 21-22. Oh well at least they will be all that much more bullet proof.
