Are you seriously looking for 20" winter wheels?

Got it - missed the "buy during winter..." the first time!

Which stock wheels do you have - 18", 19" non-zcp, 19" zcp? I believe the 19" non-zcp are the lightest stock wheels because they are the only forged wheel. Stock wheels weigh between approximately 24-26 lb.

If you go with 20" wheels you'll end up with a fairly heavy wheel plus 20" tires tend to weigh more as well so your wheel-tire package is going to be heavy.

Are you looking for better performance or looks? Do you plan on ever tracking your car?

Correct, zcp wheels are not forged.

Yeah, the problem with wheels is everyone's taste in wheel design/style is different. Do you want a lighter wheel with a similar style to your zcp or a wheel with a completely different look? How much are you willing to spend?

When I asked about performance that could either be a dedicated track wheel (most likely 18" because of track tires) or a 19" lightweight wheel for street use. A favorite wheel of mine is the Forgeline ZX3R in 19" (Forgeline has been around a long time and many professional race teams use their wheels). The ZX3R would be an excellent choice for the street in 19" and the track in 18". They've released a few new "competition" wheel designs recently plus they have a large selection of street wheels. The Volk G12 is a nice looking wheel, and if you like HRE then either the P40S or P43S are nice - however, not sure if you'll like any of these except for perhaps the P40S.

We could always custom build you a new set if you'd like!!

[wheeladdicts]

First Picks: Forged 1 + MORR

But there are many nice looking wheels out there. Really depends on what you want out of them.

[GOVCO]

I say a set of DPE SP-SC5s would look nice:



20s or 19s look amazing!

I'd definitely go no larger than a 19". Personally, I think 20" are two large for the M3 plus you're compromising performance, increasing NVH due to short stiff side wall, and greater chance of damaging a wheel (or the wheels will be like boat anchors!).

As for color, I think a matte dark gray/charcoal or black finish looks great on AW! If you go with a three-piece wheels definitely get the outer rim half painted/powdercoated the same color as the wheel center.

#1 wheel Co - that's going to be subjective because everyone has their own favorite brand. Personally, I'd go with one of the following brands, in no particular order: Volk, HRE, BBS, Forgeline or DPE

Good luck!

I've had d2forged wheels for close to a year and a half now and I have no issues at all with them. They are strong, have aggressive fitment and drive like stock. I strongly recommend them.
