Don't get me wrong, I do like your setup! I'd put it very closely behind F14 SDC in the looks department. I'm just not sure I agree with weight savings over ZCP being a noticeable advantage here like it would be if we were comparing to 18s. The more aggressive offset is nice but spacers would give you the same result. The only real advantage I can get behind over square ZCP is the extra inch of width in the back, which is clearly something that is important to a lot of folks in this thread so I certainly don't mean to write off that factor. At the same time, I've seen plenty of other people in other threads post glowing impressions of 295 tires on ZCPs so I'm thinking the handling benefit of +1" width is marginal at best in the real world. I'm sure the added sidewall support matters more on the track, but if track use is the priority then the weight savings of 18s would be a much more important factor to consider and we'd be comparing completely different wheels. I'll also point out that without a supercharger, I wouldn't go out of my way to have a 295 rear in the first place, 275 would be plenty and there would be no need/preference to run an 19x11" rear on the street. Edit to respond to your edit: I'm not so sure you would notice a big difference in mechanical grip with a 295 on a 10" wheel versus an 11" wheel. But I could be wrong. If you venture outside of M3post and Google "295 on a 10 inch wheel" you will see that it's actually a commonly used/recommended setup across multiple car forums.

I originally wanted a Forgestar F14 but they didn't have hyper-silver and the wait was way to long. The VMR V810 had similar construction/weight and look of a ZCP with immediate availability. Its your car bro, do what you like. Just take it from someone who has already been down this road and had similar questions as you. If you see my car in person with the setup you could change your mind.

I love the concavity of F14 SDC, that's what makes them unique. The V810 looks good too, but it's not as unique and just looks like a less-pretty ZCP to me. I'm a big fan of the search function and have read your wheel-related posts dating back to 2010. You had similar questions but came to a different conclusion based on what is important to you. And your car looks great so there's no need to change my mind! I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm enjoying the conversation .

As I think Richbot mentioned earlier in the thread, one interesting setup for those with 220M wheels, is to buy a 2nd rear pair to use up front. Then run 275/30-19 front and 275/35-19 rear -- keeps very close to the original diameter stagger, gives square widths all around, no problem with front rubbing of any sort, the 220M is forged and lighter than the 359M, and offset up front is perfect (et22) for a 9.5/275.

It's all relative; then again, I've never been a crowd follower, so I guess that explains it. I'm far more likely to favor function and efficiency over style. Luckily we have lots of choices for the E9x in the wheel department, factory and aftermarket.

I'm going to make millions on this idea. Also, "function over style" and "220M blang blang polished look-at-my-BMW" wheels do not mix Crap there was a set on craigslist in STL the other day for $700 really should have scooped those up. I think I would just run 275/30-19 all around though. Now that I can do it, I like rotating too much, and the shorter gearing is nice

For the guys that are running square ZCPs, what spacers are you running in the rear? I'm thinking of picking up another rear set and running 275s all the way around so I can rotate. Fronts obviously don't need the spacers, but I think the rears will look goofy without. 12mm? |

Considering that they were the most expensive wheel offered for our cars, it may be the biggest price/value drop of any BMW wheel in recent history. And it's not even a bad looking wheel . People were crazy about them from ~08-10.

Dave, could you please share your offsets for your wheels? I take it no spacers?

I think he mentioned earlier that he runs +25 front and rear.

Like I said, it's not a bad looking wheel. I run 220s myself but the fact of the matter is they are not in demand. I wish that wasn't the case so I'd have an easier time selling mine once I upgrade to ZCPs...

Do what you think looks good, not what the market thinks looks good.

I agree with the market that ZCP looks good

I’ve personally ran both and for daily driving I prefer staggared with OEM ratios. As mentioned, squared setups are nice for tire rotations but I just didn’t like the drive ability with them. The car felt less stable at higher speeds imo
