Stock or BBS...What to do?

M3///Driver · 06-29-2014, 01:38 PM

Picked up a 2012 AW M3 in March of this year.

Northern car
Came with Stock Comp wheels and BBS Motorsport winter wheels.
Here is my problem
Love Black, but
Fronts are 8 1/2 w/ 225x45-18 Blizzak

Rears Are 10 w/ 255x40-18 Blizzak

Live in the south, so the tires are useless

Also, not sure what the owner was thinking, wheels need centering spacers(10MM)because the Dia. on wheels are too big!!

Tires are practically brand new. Wheels are straight and smooth!!!

Will I get anything for the tires?
Will I get anything for the wheels?
Paint the Stock Black? Black Apex?

I like the idea of 2 sets of wheels.

Help....What to Do?

PS I had to showoff the Fox Red!!!
And the Manual!!!

Nice car. The solution seems pretty obvious, to me.

Sell the BBS wheels and tires. Yes, you'll get something for them, how much is a good question. Since you like the idea of a second set of tires and wheels, use the money from the sale toward that purchase. I say leave the stock comps alone, i.e., don't paint 'em. Buy your second set (whatever style you choose) in black. Done and done!

I'm running steel lines, Motul 600, and PF Z pads, and it's more then adequate. I'll probably need a BBK if I go S/C though.

I don't know but between those two pictures you posted, the silver wheels look a million times better than those black ones.

I like the stock competition package wheels. If you go with BBS I would advise the F1's, they look phenomenal!! but very pricey

Jonnykin · 06-30-2014, 08:22 PM

How much you want for the BBS and tires. PM me. I live in canada.... Nothing more useful here than winter tires

izzyM2 · 06-30-2014, 08:28 PM

Not sure about a million times better

, but that's why I want 2 sets.

Depends on mood.

Since the pictures, I have add carbon rear spoiler and mirror caps.

Powder coat the competition rims and you're set.
