Got new shoes

slo_guy · 11-04-2012, 10:12 PM

The old rims gave me a meaner look. The new look is a "cleaner"/"nicer" one. Which do you guys prefer?

OLD: 20" DPE S-20s (20x9.5, 20x11) with gloss black lips and matte black centers.

NEW: 20" Diamnod Black BBS LM-R (Ericsson Offset)

New. Looks awesome

eclipsisNA · 11-04-2012, 10:26 PM

I like the new ones much better Joe. They work very well w/ SG. Mmmmm delicious.

ms372 · 11-04-2012, 10:28 PM

old and new look great

GOLFFRR · 11-04-2012, 10:36 PM

BBS FTW. The new ones get my vote. Very nice set up.

tommy94gt · 11-04-2012, 11:24 PM

LMRs hands down, no competition, close thread! They are the best looking wheels for the E92 m3 IMO and the color goes perfect with SG.

ottoblotto · 11-05-2012, 12:33 AM

Great color match with the new ones. The old ones didnt look bad either! Very nice...

HeavyTireSmoke · 11-05-2012, 02:44 AM

They both look good in their own ways. The DPE are different with a gloss black step lip. The BBS is probably better quality. Went from a bad boy look to a subtle look that mixes in well with almost every car with BBS LM or LMR which are so common among M3 owners but im sure thats for a reason.

Alen E90 · 11-05-2012, 04:07 AM

LM-Rs FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

slo_guy · 11-05-2012, 04:21 AM

Thanks for the complements everyone. I loved the fact that not everyone had the S20s and I was battling with cookie cutter bimmer vs mean looking and different. I had the DPEs for almost 4 years now and just wanted a change. I was considering painting the barrels gloss black or getting the barrels done in a black chrome, but I'm still not sure.

Nang Vann · 11-05-2012, 04:41 AM

Love the new rims! Overall the car looks like a beast! Love the colour
